Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Luzula (Latin lux, light, in diminutive derivation, from some fanciful attribute or interest). Juncaceae. Wood Rush. About forty species of grass-like or rush- like, often cespitose, perennial herbs of wide distribution in temperate and frigid regions, some of them adapted to borders and for colonizing. Several species are native in the United States and Canada, but none of them seems to be listed in the trade; two European species are offered abroad. By some, the name Juncoides is used in place of Luzula.

These are plants of mostly inconspicuous green or scarious fls. (sometimes white) in umbel-like, paniculate, corymbose or congested infl., the fls. always bracteolate; perianth parts distinct, glumaceous: stamens usually 6; ovary 1-celled: fr. a dry 3-seeded caps.: lvs. soft, usually hairy or webby: dry ground. Juncus, to which the genus is closely related, differs in its mostly 3-celled and many-seeded caps.
