They look very similar, don't they. If I'd started searching through the rushes in reverse alphabetical order I would no doubt have stopped at usitatus rather than remotiflorus.
How are they distinguished from each other?

Had to check the key again, the ovular bud shape is distinctive.

Thanks for that. I thought it must be something like that, but the plantnet Juncus key has way too much technical jargon for me to decipher. Either way it was a new species for the PNR plant list (native species #253 in fact), and happy that I was on target with my ID, even if by accident. Grateful, as ever, for the effort you put into moderation.
