Chap. FI, 542. 
Louisianian area. South Carolina to Florida, west to Mississippi. Distribution 
not well defined, the species being by most authors confounded with C. verrucosa 
Mubl. The latter, though it occurs in the lower South, appears to be mainly of a 
more northern distribution. 
ALABAMA: Lower Pine belt, Coast plain. Borders of pine-barren ponds. Clark, 
Washington, and Mobile counties. Frequent. 
Abundantly distinct from C. verrucosa by the almost nerveless, glaucons perigynia, 
which are much longer than the blade of the scales and almost as long as their 
rough awns. Leaves flattish and generally broader, 
Type locality: ‘‘ Grows aronnd pine-barren ponds [South Carolina and Georgia].”
