Abstract:

Juncus brachyphyllus (short-leaf rush) is found in damp ground in the Great Plains, from Nebraska to Illinois and Texas. It is entirely restricted to terrain east of the Rocky Mountains. Technical characters separate true J. brachyphyllus from plants of our region, west of the continental divide. The plants we called J. brachyphyllus in Washington have a new name, J. trilocularis, which is distinguished by the length of the style and anthers, and the striations on the stem.
