Description
J. repens, also known as lesser creeping rush, is a native annual perennial with a graminoid growth habit that is in the Juncaceae family. It contains rhizomatous growth for rapid clonal reproduction as well. The mature height can reach up to 6.8 feet, yet a short lifespan.[2]
Distribution
J. repens can be found along the Gulf of Mexico coast and Atlantic coast in the Southeast United States, ranging from east Texas to Virginia and Maryland[2] with disjunct populations in western Cuba.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
The main communities include streams, ponds, lakes, ditches, wet depressions in flatwoods, and cypress savannahs.[4] J. repens has been observed in moist loamy soil of oak-hickory woods, in shallow ditches, in cabbage palm hammocks, in wet muck disturbed sites, and muddy depressions.[5]
Associated species - Taxodium spp.[5]
Phenology
