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.
