--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Culms </b>densely to loosely cespitose, 10–40 cm. <b>Leaves</b>: basal leaves 3.5–12 cm × 2–6 mm; cauline leaves equaling or exceeding inflorescences. <b>Inflorescences</b>: glomerules 3–16 (each with 8–16 flowers), 1–2 nearly sessile with others on evident peduncles, mostly cylindric; secondary branches sometimes present, usually straight, erect; proximal inflorescence bract barely as long as to exceeding inflorescence. <b>Flowers</b>: tepals pale brown to chestnut brown to blackish with clear margins, 2–4 mm; outer and inner whorl ± equal, or outer whorl slightly longer (outer whorl pointed, inner whorl pointed or truncate-mucronate); anthers not more than 2 times filament length; stigmas 0.8–1.5 mm; styles not persistent in fruit. <b>Capsules</b> pale to brown to black, globose, shorter than to ± equaling tepals. <b>Seeds</b> 1.1–1.7 mm; caruncles 0.2–0.6 mm.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Many names have been applied to members of this variable complex throughout the range of this flora. No monograph is yet available to enable a satisfactory treatment.  <i>Juncus multiflorus</i> (Ehrhart) Hoffmann (1800), not Retzius (1795), is an illegitimate name that pertains here.</p><!--
