Soft rush growing along the sewer line road on the west side of the Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana. Similar to baltic rush, Juncus balticus, with which it co-occurs, but with a strongly bunched growth habit (albeit rhizomatous) and thick soft green hollow stems. Like Juncus drummondii but with a predilection to lower elevation sites that are regularly disturbed and an inflorescence of usually many more than 4 flowers. This species does not produce leaf blades. Just a basal leaf sheath is present.
