Juncus marginatus is a species of flowering plant, it is a type of rush with the common names of margined rush and grass-leaf rush. [2]
Juncus marginatus is a grass-like, herbaceous, short-lived perennial growing from short rhizomes. [3] Plants produce dense tufts or clumps growing 30-130 cm tall. [4] The plants are sometimes rhizomatous. The leaf blades are flat. The flowers are grouped together into a terminal inflorescence called a glomerulus. [5] Each flower has three stamens and three sharply acute sepals that are reddish-brown in color. The plump and ribbed seeds are produced in a rounded and beakless capsule. The small yellow to light brown seeds are spindle-shaped, and around 0.5mm in length and lack a tail but have sharp points on either end (apiculate). [3] [4] The diploid chromosome count is 38. [4]
Juncus marginatus grows in North America in the Eastern and Southeastern US, ranging to Texas and South Dakota. [5] It is also found Ontario Canada, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, New Mexico, the West Indies (Cuba), and Central America; where is found growing in moist to wet bogs, on shorelines, in marshes and ditches - with sandy, peaty, or clayey soils. [4] One historic population existed in Minnesota until 1999 when other small populations were found in Anoka County; because of its rarity it was listed as an endangered specie in the state. [3] In Minnesota the species is found growing in shallow wetlands/prairies of the Anoka Sand Plain where the normally dry sandy ground dips below the water table. [3]

Juncaceae is a family of flowering plants, commonly known as the rush family. It consists of 8 genera and about 464 known species of slow-growing, rhizomatous, herbaceous monocotyledonous plants that may superficially resemble grasses and sedges. They often grow on infertile soils in a wide range of moisture conditions. The best-known and largest genus is Juncus. Most of the Juncus species grow exclusively in wetland habitats. A few rushes, such as Juncus bufonius are annuals, but most are perennials.

It is a highly variable species typically growing 30–65 centimetres (12–26 in) in height with three-part leaves and flowers contained in a spadix that is covered by a hood. It is native to eastern North America, occurring in moist woodlands and thickets from Nova Scotia west to Minnesota, and south to southern Florida and Texas.
Heteranthera limosa is an annual flowering plant in the water hyacinth family known by the common names ducksalad and blue mudplantain. It grows in shallow water or on mud. It is considered a threatened species in parts of the central United States, and an invasive species weed in California, where it is a nuisance in rice paddies. It is also occasional in Florida waterways.

It has several common names including narrowleaf water-plantain, ribbonleaf water-plantain or ribbon-leaved water-plantain, and grass-leaved water-plantain. It grows in mud or submerged in shallow fresh or brackish water in marshy areas.
Juncus acutus, the spiny rush, sharp rush or sharp-pointed rush, is a flowering plant in the monocot family Juncaceae.
Arnoglossum plantagineum also known as tuberous Indian-plantain, groovestem Indian plantain or Prairie Indian plantain, is a North American species of Arnoglossum in the sunflower family. he Latin specific epithet plantagineum refers to the leaves of the plant which are similar to those of a plantain.

It is characteristic of the alvars around the Great Lakes in North America, as well as in New England. In Canada, it is found from Quebec to Saskatchewan, plus an isolated population in Nova Scotia, where it grows on gypsum based soils, 330 km away from the nearest population in Maine.

Juncus dichotomus is a monocot which belongs to the Juncaceae family of rushes. The plant is native in the Americas in temperate zones but has been introduced to other parts of the world. The species is often confused with other Juncus plants due to morphological similarity. Juncus dichotomus often is found in areas which prove to be very moist, and rainfall is a common occurrence. Juncus dichotomus is often most recognizable in the spring and summer months of the year due to its conspicuous flowers and infructescence.
