About Juncus pallidus R.Br.
Juncus pallidus R.Br., commonly called the great soft-rush, pale rush, giant rush, or leafless rush, is a rush species native to southern Australia, New Zealand, Norfolk Island, and Lord Howe Island. This is a vigorous, tufted, tussock-forming, rhizomatous perennial herb. Its culms reach 70–135 cm in height. The 25–185 mm long inflorescence holds many straw-coloured flowers, each with six floral segments. This species typically grows in moist, nutrient-poor soils that experience periodic flooding; such habitats include fresh and brackish waterways, swamps, creek banks, lake edges, and sand seeps.
