- Comments
- Lane Gibbons' MS thesis at JMU provides a convincing case for recognizing this entity at the species level. See Gibbons & McMullen, JBRIT 13(1):71-81 (2019). A key is provided for separating the three entities formerly treated as varieties of Eleocharis tenuis. The current map shows records cited as voucher specimens as well as a few additional counties previously or subsequently mapped but not cited therein.
- Habitat
- Bogs, depression swamps and ponds, seeps, and wet clearings; often in seasonally flooded, clay soils. The species is apparently widely distributed in the eastern part of the state, but its frequency is not yet confidently known.
