Identification History: Rhynchospora leptocarpa (Chapm.) Small
Identifier's Name: R. Kral
Text Identification Date: [20]02

Further Identification Comments: Really big samples of R. capitellata show a stronger overlap of it for all characters than warrant treatment as a species, maybe even as a var. My measures show more overlap than do Sorrie's.
