|discussion=<p>Robust plants known only from Missouri and described as <i>Eleocharis engelmannii</i> <i></i>var.<i> robusta</i> have well-developed caudices, culms to 2 mm wide (pressed), spikelets to 2 cm, floral scales to 2.5 mm and slightly cartilaginous, styles mostly trifid, achenes to 1.5 × 1 mm, and tubercles 0.3–0.5 × 0.7–1 mm and to 2/5 as high as achene. Some specimens are intermediate between <i>E. engelmannii</i> and <i>E. obtusa</i>, or rarely with <i>E. lanceolata</i>. I have not seen specimens to verify literature reports of <i>E. engelmannii</i> from Manitoba, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, or Vermont.</p>
