Juncus alatus

Juncus alatus is characterized by its upright, green, and distinctly winged stems, which bear a resemblance to small, verdant columns. The tower of hollow stems, topped with clusters of small, brown flowers, is quite distinctive and is typically found gracing wetlands and marshes. The habitat's moisture is key, aiding juncus alatus's survival and the propagation of its modest flowers which contribute to its ecological niche.
