|discussion=<p><i>Carex emoryi</i> resembles <i>C. aquatilis</i> in size and habit, and has similar sheaths and spike dimensions. It is distinguished by the finely veined perigynia, the prolonged convex sheath apex and truncate ligule, and the hypostomic leaves. Most specimens identified as <i>C. aquatilis</i> var. altior are <i>C. aquatilis</i>; the type of <i>C. aquatilis</i> var. altior is an immature specimen of <i>C. emoryi</i>. Although previously thought to be related to <i>C. stricta</i>, the differences in sheath characters and higher chromosome number suggest that <i>C. emoryi</i> is not a member of the <i>C. stricta</i> subgroup.</p>
