--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial, densely tufted or mat-forming; rhizomes mostly hidden by culms and roots, fairly long, 3 mm thick, hard, cortex persistent, longer internodes to 3 mm, scales persistent, ca. 8 mm, membranous, slightly fibrous. <b>Culms</b> terete, when dry with few to many blunt ridges, 10–70 cm × 0.5–2 mm, soft to firm, internally hollow with complete transverse septa 2–5 mm apart, usually evident externally except in narrowest culms. <b>Leaves</b>: distal leaf sheaths persistent, not splitting, proximally dark red, distally green or brown, slightly callose, papery, apex obtuse, tooth present, 0.3–1 mm. <b>Spikelets</b> ovoid, 6–21 × 3–4 mm, apex acute to obtuse; proximal scale amplexicaulous, entire; subproximal scale empty or with flower; floral scales appressed in fruit, 100–500+, (15–)30–40 per mm of rachilla, medium brown to colorless, midrib regions greenish to colorless, ovate, 1.5–2.5 × 1–1.5 mm, entire, apex rounded to subacute, carinate in distal part of spikelet. <b>Flowers</b>: perianth bristles 6–8, pale brown, medium stout, from less than 1/2 achene length to sometimes slightly exceeding tubercle, retrorsely spinulose; stamens 1; anthers dark yellow to brown, 0.6–1 mm; styles 3-fid or some 2-fid. <b>Achenes</b> falling with scales, dark green or medium brown, obovoid to obpyriform, biconvex or sometimes some compressedtrigonous in same spikelet, lateral angles prominent, abaxial angle absent or evident, not prominent, 0.8–1.1 × 0.7–0.8 mm, neck short or absent, finely cancellate at 10–20X, sometimes finely rugulose, with 15 horizontal ridges in vertical series. <b>Tubercles</b> brown, pyramidal, mostly depressed, 0.2–0.35 × 0.2–0.4 mm.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>The taxonomy of the septate-culmed species here treated as <i>Eleocharis montana</i> and <i>E. ravenelii</i> should be evaluated. According to H. K. Svenson (1957), the type of <i>E. montana</i> from near Bogotá, Colombia, is the mountain extreme of the species; it has swollen culms with no visible septation.</p><!--
--><p>Specimens from Acadia and St. Landry parishes, Louisiana, are intermediate between <i>Eleocharis montana</i> and <i>E. montevidensis</i>.</p>
