- Comments
- Most herbarium specimens have not been examined to distinguish them from C. stricta, s.l. The species may be more frequent in the Ridge and Valley region than mapped records indicate. Virginia populations of Carex emoryi often display drooping lower pistillate spikes. In habit, though, plants more closely resemble Carex stricta than they do Carex torta.
- Habitat
- Primarily on flood-scoured, rocky river shores and bars; rarely in calcareous fens, spring marshes, and wet meadows. Local and infrequent in the mountains and n. Piedmont; often forms large, clonal patches where found.
