|discussion=<p><i>Carya texana</i> occurs principally west of the Mississippi River. It hybridizes with <i>C. glabra</i>, <i>C. tomentosa</i> (C. ×collina Laughlin), seemingly intergrades with <i>C. pallida</i> in eastern Missouri and southern Illinois, and is reported to hybridize with the diploid <i>C. aquatica</i> [C. ×ludoviciana (Ashe) Little].</p>
