Black Spikerush (Eleocharis nigrescens (Nees) Steud.)
There is a discrepancy in the naming authority cited by POWO and USDA/BONAP. We have not yet determined whether or not these sources are referring to the same taxon, as there is also a discrepancy in the reported range and where this plant is considered native. For now we have stuck with BONAP's treatment but we link to POWO's record.

This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
This species may be native to Mexico, although there is some uncertainty about whether or not different sources are referring to the same taxon, see the taxonomy notes above.
