|discussion=<p>Populations from Virginia and south have been separated as <i>Juncus pelocarpus</i> var. crassicaudex (J. abortivus) based on their taller culms and thicker rhizomes. The evidence used to support the varietal status for the southeastern plants (N. A. Murray and D. M. Johnson 1987) clearly demonstrates that these plants are the southern end of a cline.</p><!--
--><p>The flowers are often replaced by bulbils.</p>
