Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. Torrey published E. calva as a provisional name [protologue: I have specimens of an ELEOCHARIS from the western part of the State, which resembles E. palustris in many respects; but there are no bristles surrounding the achenium, and the tubercle is very short. It grows from 3 to 10 inches high; the culm slender and nearly terete; the spikes are ovoid-conical, It may be regarded as a provisional species, under the name E. calva. ]
