This northeastern diploid (2n = 22) is an annual relative of the compressa-group and tenuis-group, and there can also be hybridization with the obtusa-group (FNA 23). E. intermedia is known from calcareous seepages among the higher mountains of e. Tenn. and w. Va., but most records from the Ohio Valley need to be checked (K, PL, W). It was reported from Ky. by Muenscher (1944) and Kellerman (1957). There is a coll. of G.D. Kellerman & Kahn (#171) from BULL (DHL) that has been named "intermedia" but it has lost its spikes. There is also a reported coll. from CALL (herbarium of Ind. Univ. SE).
