    Could you help me identify this plant? It was found in a marshy area in North Bennington, Vermont. I originally thought that it was a Juncus, but I am unable to see tepals.

    Answer

    Dear doctornancy, good morning. You do indeed have a species of Juncus (rush), but I can't see enough of the plant clearly to tell you which species you have found. If you want to continue to correspond (assuming you still have the specimen) and send some additional images, we can probably figure it out. I'm available at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org. Best wishes.
