Juncus longii
Also called Grassleaf Rush
Juncus longii is a species within section Graminifolii—distinguished by its flat, septae-less leaves and rounded capsules arranged in glomerules—Juncus longii stands out for its particularly dense and compact inflorescence. It also features elongate rhizomes with well-spaced rhizome scales, further setting it apart from other species in the section.
Juncus longii is a species endemic to the United States, with a much smaller and more restricted range than its close relatives Juncus biflorus and Juncus marginatus. It is found exclusively in freshwater seepages of the southeastern U.S., particularly across Maryland, the District of Columbia, and the Coastal Plain of Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi, as well as the Cumberland Plateau and Blue Ridge regions of Tennessee and the Carolinas.
