Juncus

not marked as a favorite taxon Juncus pylaei Laharpe. Common name: Common Rush. Phenology: Jun-Sep. Habitat: Moist soil, bogs, marshes, swamp forests, margin of streams, ponds, lakes and swamps, low meadows; overlooked and probably more widespread and common than shown. Distribution: Throughout eastern North America, south at least to NC and SC. The mapped distribution is unusually speculative, owing to past lumping with Juncus effusus.
