444 HEXANDRlA. MONOGYNIA. Juncus. 
(Nearly allied to this species is J. capitatus of Weigel, said to have been 
found by Hudson in Jersey; considered by Bicheno as his J. supinus; 
but, according to Smith, the alpine plant of that Botanist, (also Mr. G. 
Don’s supinus), is a starved uliginosus. The real J. capitatus appears to 
be indigenous to warmer climates; is not addicted to mountainous 
situations; and has no stronger claim to be admitted into a British 
Flora, than that of having been observed, nearly a century ago, in a 
(geographically), French island. E.) 
(Var. 2. J. Uliginosus. With. Flowering heads foliaceous and viviparous. 
H. Ox. viii. 94— Scheuch. 7. 10— Pluk. 32. 3. 
Var. 3. A taller plant; stem-leaves slightly knotted or jointed; flowering 
heads proliferous. 
FI. Dan. 817. 
Bicheno and Smith suspect this may prove a new species, thus characterized 
as J. subverticillatus. Stem leafy, trailing. Leaves bristle-shaped, 
channelled, very slightly jointed: panicle forked : heads lateral and ter¬ 
minal, about five-flowered, somewhat whorled, capsule obtuse, rather 
longer than the calyx. 
Little Bulbous Rush. Welsh: Corfrwynen ledglymmog. Frequent, 
with its varieties, on boggy or turfy heaths. P. June—July. E.) 
(J. bi'glumis. Stem erect, unbranched, leafy at the base : leaves flat : 
head solitary, of two unilateral flowers, surmounted by a leafy 
bractea. 
E. Bot. 898 —FI. Dan. 120. 
Stems solitary, leafless, quite simple, two to four inches high. Leaves 
awl-shaped, flattened, slightly channelled; half the height of the stem. 
No partitions, or joints, are perceptible externally. FI. two, terminal, 
one above another and turned to one side, by which this species is always 
distinguishable from the two-flowered var. of J. triglumis, as remarked 
by Dr. Stuart. Always unilateral, not forced into that position by the 
bractea. Mr. Brown points out the blunt capsules, and the fruit-stalk 
with which the inner flower is always provided, are invariable characters. 
Generally smaller than the following. Seeds remarkably distinguished 
by their covering. 
Two-flowered Rush. In bogs on the top of Mal-ghyrdy, a mountain 
between Glenlochy and Glenlyon; and upon Ben Teskerney; both in 
Breadalbane. (On Craig Cailleach, and on Ben Lawers, in the same 
situations, but not quite so common as J. triglumis. Brown. E.) 
r. Aug. 
(J. trPglumis. Stem erect, unbranched; leafy in the lower part: 
leaves subulose, compressed: head solitary, terminal, of about 
three upright flowers, with elliptical bracteas.

Resembling the last in habit, but about twice as large. Stems four to six 
inches high. Leaves not flat, as described by some authors, but con¬ 
structed with cells, (as those of J. uliginosus), which, though not externally 
visible, may be perceived by the touch on drawing the leaf between the
