- Comments
- Some Virginia specimens of Rhynchospora distans appear to have one or more characters intermediate with R. fascicularis. This taxon has often been treated as a var. of R. fascicularis, but FNA reduced it to synonymy, stating that the differential character states appear to vary independently across the range of the two taxa. Further study may be warranted.
- Habitat
- Sphagnous seeps; wet or seasonally wet depressions and clearings in sandhills now or formerly occupied by Longleaf Pine. Rare, inner Coastal Plain of se. Virginia; known from Chesterfield, Sussex, and Isle of Wight counties and Suffolk City.
