Hi Ciaran, thanks for all the recent IDs of my latest lot of sightings. In this case I'm having trouble seeing how the morphology of the flowers/fruit fits with the many other J. subsecundus sightings on CNM that I've looked at? I initially suggested J. filicaulis mainly because of the distinct dense clusters of fruit/flowers. If you can fit it in I'd appreciate anything you can do to further enlighten me, thanks?

In this case the morphology of the inflorescence isn't diagnostic between these two with both species exhibiting variation between head-like and diffuse-pseudolateral. Generally, pith is used to separate these two (it's very fine in J.filicaulis) but in absence of this i used the following features:
-Tepals apparently stramineous with no obvious longitudional banding
- Clusters being on the smaller side
- Previous Juncus subsecundus record at site
- Juncus subsecundus being the more common species
-Tepals apparently stramineous with no obvious longitudional banding
