Juncus effusus—common rush. A cosmopolitan species found throughout the world. Indeed, it is probably easier to list the countries where it does not occur than those where it does. Loves moist places. Invasive in pastures at times because livestock won't eat it. Used in Japan as the covering for tatami mats. Stems dipped in fat were used in former times as a substitute for candles throughout Europe. Plant is found at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.

St. Brigid (Irish: Naomh Bríd) is also known as Mary of the Gael or Muire na nGael aka Our Lady of the Irish. She is one of the Patron Saints of Ireland, along with St Patrick and St Columcille.
Born in Dundalk in 450 AD St Brigid was the founder of the first monastery in County Kildare, Ireland. Her father was a pagan chieftain of Leinster and her mother was a Christian. St Patrick inspired her to become a Catholic and spread the word of God. Legend has it, people used to make crosses from rushes (Juncus Effusus) to hang over the door of their homes to ward off evil, fire and hunger. Over time, word spread about St Brigid, her kindness, faith and the making of the cross became synonymous with her and the tradition now bears her name, the St. Brigid Cross.

On Saturday September 25, 2021, Cascade Forest Conservancy staff, and thirteen volunteers, joined Forest Service staff to plant native sedges & rushes to reestablish native plants that are competitive with invasive species, in habitat that hosts the Oregon spotted frog. The group planted 1622 plants including: Soft rush (Juncus effusus), Beaked sedge (Carex utriculate), and Dagger-leaf rush (Juncus ensifolius). The planting is part of an ongoing restoration project in the area to improve the quality of habitat for Oregon spotted frog, a federally threatened species.

Latin name: "Juncus effusus"
Irish name: Geataire
The soft rush is and invasive plant of damp or wet acidic ground. It is found in fields, roadsides, ditches, marshes, water edges, and heaths and bog-land.
It grows in clumps to about 1 metre high. The flower heads (each containing many flowers) are borne on the sides of the grass-like leaves, and are usually loose and open but can be more compact, and are more or less spherical. The seeds are linear-oblong to elliptic in shape.

The Netherlands-Oostzanerveld
A view on nature reserve Oostzanerveld with the village Oostzaan in the background. Rewetted (former) agricultural lands often become quickly invaded by Soft rush (pitrus - Juncus effusus). This species forms dense, monotonous stands. Biodiversity of vegetation and wildlife is generally low. However, wet grasslands with Soft rush can be a valuable habitat for the tundra vole. In the western part of the Netherlands, a.o. nature reserve Oostzanerveld, the tundra vole is a relict from the ice age and has developed to the subspecies Microtus oeconomus arenicola.

Day 5. Another really damp day. Mild enough. There are over 400 species of rush. They and the yellow flag iris have their own place in my childhood when the combination of this herbage appeared much as we kids imagined snake and crocodile infested jungles to be... places Ms McGonagall shouldn't go. This is maybe the common one... Juncus effusus but then it's only a meter high (not 1.5).
The dried pith of plants of this family was mixed with grease and used to make a type of candle known as a rushlight*.
The soft rush is called igusa in Japanese and is used to weave the soft surface cover of tatami mats.
In medieval Europe, loose fresh rushes would be strewn on earthen floors in dwellings for cleanliness and insulation."
28:07.15: Tuesday. 20.39: Visit to Scarborough across the moors. Scarborough is a well turned out and welcoming town. Some bright spells but generally cool. The damp seaside sand was surprisingly warm to the touch. Later on return once again via Pickering. We have persistent rain and suspect new boots but decide to climb the hillside with M. Same route as early week but only to the rim of the valley. Really wet ground now. "Cat" boots saturated after first 200 yards. Caterpillar now markets a very different type of product to their core footwear range of earlier decades.
Further Wikipedia snippets on the rush... Juncaceae, the rush family, are a monocotyledonous family of flowering plants of eight genera and about 400 species. Members of the Juncaceae are slow-growing, rhizomatous, herbaceous plants, and they may superficially resemble grasses and sedges. They often grow on infertile soils in a wide range of moisture conditions. The most well-known and largest genus is Juncus. Most of the Juncus species grow exclusively in wetland habitats.
*Hence a pithy Chinese proverb - “It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness". Sounds Confuscion but a search reports in one place that it was attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt! Amnesty International adopted it as their motto. The beautiful rush plays its part in maintaining hope.
