'''''Juncus''''' is a genus in the family [[Juncaceae]]. It consists of about 225 species of grassy plants commonly called '''rushes'''. They occur in all wet regions of the world, but rarely in the tropics. Many are considered [[weed]]s in [[gardening]], and few are used as [[ornamental plant]]s. ''Juncus'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of a number of [[Lepidoptera]] species - see [[list of Lepidoptera which feed on Juncus|list of Lepidoptera which feed on ''Juncus'']]. {{Inc| Juncus (classical name, to join). Juncaceae. Rushes. Grass-like plants growing in wet, rarely in dry, places and used for planting in bogs and around aquatic gardens. Plants send up from the rootstock several unbranched cylindrical sts. which bear a terminal, or sometimes apparently lateral, C3rme of greenish or brownish very small fls.: lvs. grass-like terete or flat: perianth of 6 rigid chaffy parts in 2 whorls; stamens short, either 3 or 6: caps. 3-celled or rarely 1-celled, many-seeded. Rushes differ from the true grasses and sedges in having a true perianth and a many-seeded pod.—The genus includes a host of species distributed throughout the temperate regions, but most of these are not in cult. Rushes are sold by dealers in native and aquatic plants. The kind used in making mats in Japan is procurable from dealers in Japanese plants. J. acuminatus, Michx., and other species may be used for water-gardens.— J. zebrinus, Hort. equals Scirpus Tabernaemontanus var. sebrinus. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== {{col-begin|width=auto}} {{col-break}} * ''[[Juncus abortivus]]'' Chapman - Annual Rush * ''[[Juncus acuminatus]]'' Michx. - Tapertip Rush * ''[[Juncus acutus]]'' L. - Sharp Rush * ''[[Juncus acutiflorus]]'' Ehrh. ex Hoffm. - Sharp-flowered Rush * ''[[Juncus albescens]]'' (Lange) Fernald - Northern White Rush * ''[[Juncus alpiniformis]]'' Fern. * ''[[Juncus alpinoarticulatus]]'' Chaix - Northern Green Rush * ''[[Juncus ambiguus]]'' Guss. - Frog Rush * ''[[Juncus arcticus]]'' Willd. - Arctic Rush * ''[[Juncus articulatus]]'' L. - Jointed Rush * ''[[Juncus balticus]]'' Willd. - Baltic Rush * ''[[Juncus biflorus]]'' Ell. - Bog Rush * ''[[Juncus biglumis]]'' L. - Twoflowered Rush * ''[[Juncus bolanderi]]'' Engelm. - Bolander's Rush * ''[[Juncus brachycarpus]]'' Engelm. - Whiteroot Rush * ''[[Juncus brachycephalus]]'' (Engelm.)
