Family Juncaceae
Juncus greenei Oakes & Tuck.
Greene's rush
Juncus: the classical Latin name for the rush, possibly from jungere, "to join or bind," because the stems were used for binding
greenei: after Edward Lee Greene (1843-1915), a churchman who went from being a Baptist to an Episcopalean to Catholicism. During much of this time he assiduously collected plants and acquired as much or more field knowledge than any other worker of his day.
