Juncus marginatus
Also called Bog Rush, Grass Leaf Rush, Shore Rush, Grass Leaved Rush, Large Grass Leaved Rush
Juncus marginatus is a species of flowering plant. It is a type of rush with the common names of margined rush and grass-leaf rush.
Juncus marginatus grows in North America in the Eastern and Southeastern US, ranging to Texas and South Dakota. It is also found in Ontario, Canada, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, New Mexico, the West Indies (Cuba), and Central America, where it is found growing in moist to wet bogs, on shorelines, in marshes and ditches - with sandy, peaty, or clayey soils. One historic population existed in Minnesota until 1999, when other small populations were found in Anoka County; because of its rarity, it was listed as an endangered species in the state. In Minnesota, the species is found growing in shallow wetlands/prairies of the Anoka Sand Plain where the normally dry sandy ground dips below the water table.
