Juncus prismatocarpus, the branching rush, is a tufted, perennial species of flowering plant in the rush family, Juncaceae. Found in moist situations, often on sandy ground. Grass-like leaves are 10 to 40 cm long, 1.3 to 3.0 mm in diameter. It grows in many parts of Australia , New Zealand and south east Asia. The specific epithet is derived from Latin, meaning prism-shaped fruit.[1][2]
Due to its flattened unifacial leaves lacking adaxial identity, Juncus prismatocarpus has been used to study leaf development and faciality.[3][4]
