Scirpus microcarpus J. Presl & C. Presl[FNA23, HC, HC2]
panicled bulrush, small fruited bulrush
Publication: Reliq. Haenk. 1: 195. 1828.
Origin: Native
selected vouchers: WTU
Notes: FNA23: "Populations of Scirpus microcarpus from eastern United States have been treated as a distinct species, S. rubrotinctus Fernald. Populations from the central part of the continent are intermediate for the characters Fernald used to separate S. rubrotinctus. The taxonomy of the group should be reinvestigated. Populations from the Queen Charlotte Islands (British Columbia) have a different chromosome number (2n = 64; R. L. Taylor and G. A. Mulligan 1968) than populations from New York and Pennsylvania (2n = 66; A. E. Schuyler 1967, 1976)."
