La morfología de Eleocharis tenuis se reconoce tradicionalmente como altamente variable y delimitada solo al nivel de variedad. Sin embargo, nuevos datos morfométricos indican que las variedades de E. tenuis son únicas y bien delimitadas por cuatro de los diez caracteres examinados en este estudio. Es más, Estas entidades morfológicas únicas están soportadas por datos citológicos correlacionados. Aquí, tratamos E. tenuis var. verrucosa en el rango de especie, como E. verrucosa, para reflejar el significado evolutivo de esta entidad. También aportamos una clave para distinguir E. verrucosa de las restantes variedades de E. tenuis.
