Herbs, perennial, rhizomatous rhizomatous, orsometimes cespitose. Culms flattened, 2-edged, smooth. Leaves basal and cauline; blade ensiform (flattened with 1 edge facing culm), imperfectly septate. Inflorescences terminal panicles of 2–many heads, sympodial; bracteoles absent proximal to perianth. Flowers in multiflowered heads. Capsules 1-locular, apex separating at dehiscence. Seeds not tailed or occasionally tailed, tegmen reticulate and usually lined. 2n = 20.
Distribution
w North America, Mexico, e Asia (s to Japan).
Discussion
Juncus subg. Ensifolii may be polyphyletic. Juncus polycephalus shows affinities with J. scirpoides, J. megacephalus, and J. validus; the remaining members show affinities with J. nevadensis, J. megacephalus, and J. dubius.
Species ca. 7 (6 in the flora).
Selected References
None.
