Description
J. marginatus is a perennial graminoid in the Juncaceae family. It is native to North America [2]. This species is very similar to the many other species of rush "stems clump-forming, somewhat flattened, to 4 ft. tall; leaf blades flat, to 1/4 in. wide, pointed tips; inflorescences at stem tip, from very compact to much-branched and open, having several-200 clusters of flowers and fruits; flowers dark brown, stiff; seed capsules to 1/8 in. long, elliptic with rounded 3-lobed tops, reddish-brown, shiny; seeds irregular, amber" [3].
Distribution
This range of this species extends north to Novia Scotia, Ontario, Michigan, and Nebraska, south to peninsular Florida, and west to Texas. There are also disjunct populations in California and South America.[1]
Ecology
Habitat

Specimens have been collected from open pine-oak forests, moist loamy sands, pondshores, cypress gum ponds, cleared pine flatwood savannas, planted slash pine flatwoods, streambanks, and basin swamps. [5]
Phenology
J. marginatus flowers June through September [4].
