Parry's Rush
Juncus parryi
2003
Because it is wind pollinated, the rush does not need to invest energy in attracting pollinators, thus its pale brown flower and lack of odor and nectar. Usually rushes grow in moist places but this one grows on dry grassy or stony, granitic slopes high in the Sierra Nevada. The Latin name comes from the use of the stems to bind or join.
