Juncus is a genus of the Juncaceae family. It consists of about 225 species of grassy plants commonly called rushes. They occur in all wet regions of the world, but rarely in the tropics. Many are considered annoying weeds in gardening, and few are used as ornamental plants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juncus [AP 18/07/2006]
