The ftalk is a finger high, naked, and terminated 

 with two fefllle flowers, embofom'd in a com- 

 mon involucnim, confiding of two valves, the 

 exterior of which is fubulate, and longer than 

 the flowers, the interior oval and fhortcr. 



The leaves are but few in number, hardly half the 

 length of the ftalk, plane, and grafs-like. 



It is very nearly related to the JUNCUS trig/umis, 

 and perhaps only a variety of it.
