Juncus sarophorus, the broom rush or fan-flowered rush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Juncaceae. [1] Native to southeastern Australia, and all of New Zealand except the Kermadec Islands, it also has been introduced to Great Britain. [2]

juncus: From the Latin jungere ‘to tie or bind’, the stems of some species being used to make cord (Johnson and Smith) sarophorus : (As in Juncus sarophorus) meaning ‘broom bearing’, from Greek saron brush, broom (from sairein to sweep); -phorus = bearing, carrying

Jun 20, 2022 · Phytoremediation presents a potential remediation strategy for PFAS that would allow efficient and cost-effective remediation at large scales. This study examined the potential for the Australian native wetland plant Juncus sarophorus to tolerate, take up, and accumulate PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS.

NZ distribution: Widespread in the North, South, Stewart, Campbell and Chatham Islands. Habitat: Coastal to lowland in damp, open ground. Often in pasture or on the margins of coastal wetlands, and along river flats. Identification features: Densely tufted forming stiff blue-green clumps.

Flowers subtended by 2 bracteoles, solitary or loosely clustered (densely clustered in Juncus bufonius (occasionally) and in J. homalocaulis); leaves basal or both basal and cauline; auricles present or absent

Juncus sarophorus is a resilient grass-like perennial with upright, cylindrical stalks. Its green to grayish blades, often with a blue tinge, cluster into dense tufts. These stalks flourish in moist to wet environments, standing tall alongside waterways or marshy grounds.

Juncus sarophorus. Broom Rush. Tufted perennial rush spreading from underground stems. Erect bluish-green stems to 4mm diam. with strongly raised, spaced ridges. Pith white, interrupted with small air spaces.

Traits vary in scope from morphological attributes (e.g. leaf area, seed mass, plant height) to ecological attributes (e.g. fire response, flowering time, pollinators) and physiological measures of performance (e.g. photosynthetic gas exchange, water-use efficiency.) These traits are a sampler of those available in .
