Herbs, perennial, rhizomatous, 0.4–5.5(–7) dm. Rhizomes with swollen nodes, 1 mm diam. Culms erect, terete, 1–3 mm diam., smooth. Cataphylls 0 or 1–2., pink to gray, apex acute. Leaves: basal 1, cauline 2–4, green to pink; auricles 0.5–1.7 mm, apex rounded, membranaceous to cartilaginous; blade terete, 6–30 cm × 0.5–1.5 mm. Inflorescences terminal racemes of 3–15 heads, 0.6–6 cm, branches ascending to erect; primary bract erect; heads 6–30-flowered, spheric, 6–10(–12) mm diam. Flowers: tepals green to light brown, lance-subulate, 2.4–4.1 mm, nearly equal, apex acuminate; stamens 3 or 6, anthers 1/2 to equal filament length. Capsules exserted, chestnut brown, 1-locular, lance-subulate, 3.2–5 mm, apex tapering, valves separating at dehiscence, fertile throughout or only proximal to middle. Seeds oblong, ellipsoid, or obovoid, 0.4–0.5 mm, not tailed. 2n = 40.
Phenology: Fruiting early summer–fall.
Habitat: Sandy and muddy shores of lakes, streams, rivers, and estuaries (both freshwater and brackish), swamps, fens, salt marshes, and wet fields, often calcareous
Elevation: 0–2200 m

Discussion
The Texas populations and some of the northern Mexican populations consistantly have 3 stamens. These populations have been separated as Juncus nodosus var. meridionalis. Plants with 3 stamens are found elsewhere, however, and other significant characters do not appear to separate these populations.
