            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.
