Pale Rush (Juncus inflexus inflexus)
Description
Juncus pallidus, commonly known as the great soft-rush or pale rush, is a species of rush that is native to southern Australia. It is a vigorous, tufted, tussock-forming, rhizomatous perennial herb with culms growing to 70-135 cm in height. The inflorescence, which is 25-185 mm long, contains many straw coloured flowers, each with six floral segments. It is usually found in moist, nutrient-poor soils subject to periodic flooding, such as fresh and brackish waterways, including swamps, creek banks, lake edges and sand seeps.
