    Hello, This Rush? plant and many more are growing in a dry field, in Salem Sound, Massachusetts. I would appreciate any information you are able to share with me concerning this plant! Thank You, SueLB

    Answer

    Dear SueLB, you have photographed Juncus greenei (Greene's rush), an uncommon (but, by no means rare) rush. It is most commonly found on dry, sterile soils (such as in sandy fields, railroad embankments, etc.). Best wishes.
