Juncus Juncus xiphioides |
Juncus xiphioides, commonly known as the irisleaf rush, is a species of rush in the Juncacae family. A perennial rush found growing in creek beds and freshwater marshlands of the Southwestern United States.[1][2] It can be grown for phytoremediation or ornamental purposes.[1][3]
The Latin name derives from jungere ("to join or bind") as the stems were used for binding and xiphos ("sword") for its blade shaped leaves.[4]
