Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...canaliculaiits Engelm., Bot. Gaz. vii. 6 (1882), not Liebmaun (1.8f0). Dr. Eugelmann considered this species, when he described it, most nearly related to Juncus marginatiis Rostk., but its closest ally is undoubtedly J. longistylis Torr. The red color of the anthers, which was given as a specific character in the first description, and which was the basis of the affinity originally assigned it with marginatus, is not constant, even in the type specimen, a portion of which, through the kindness of Mr. S. B. Parish, I examined several years ago. In open flowers of specimens collected by Dr. H. E. Hasse near Los Angeles, California, the anthers are of the pale yellow color usual in the genus, while in a mature fruiting specimen collected by him they-vary from a reddish to a blackish brown. Under suspicion of being diseased, some of these red anthers were examined at my request, in 1893, by Mr. D. G. Fail-child, who reported that a Cladoitporium was present in abundance and that the reddening of the tissues was undoubtedly caused by this saprophytic fungus. Juncus mticropliyllus may be contrasted with Juncus longistylis by the following characters: rootstock 1.5 to 3 mm. in diameter, stouter and shorter than in J. longistylis; stem stouter than in that species; basal leaves from one-half the height of the stem to fully as high, sometimes reaching a length of 60 cm.; inflorescence 10 to 25 cm. high, or sometimes iii depauperate specimens less, bearing usually 8 to 30 3 to 12-flowered heads; perianth never castaneous, the inner parts longer than the outer; capsule about three-fourths as long as the perianth, stramineous, narrowly oblong, rather abruptly tapering into a short stout beak. No mature seeds have been seen. In longistylis the basal leaves are rarely h...
