Path rush

Here is a rush that is easy to find.  It’s path rush (Juncus tenuis).  Path rush typically is found on trails because it tolerates compacted soil.  This path rush is along the trail that runs by the old horse shelter at Clegg Garden.  Photo taken June 15, 2015.

Rushes are often mistaken for grasses but botanically they are different, in the plant family Juncaceae.
