Juncus dubius has rugulose stems and leaves throughout most of its range, but on the periphery (in Mariposa, San Diego, and Sonoma counties, California) the plants are smooth. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Populations from about around hot springs in the west have been separated as Juncus tweedyi Rydberg, but no morphologic distinction appears to exist between J. tweedyi and J. brevicaudatus. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
