Image:Juncus inflexus x effusus = J. x diffusus herbarium specimen from Earlswood Common, VC17 Surrey in 1931 by Mr Edward Charles Wallace.
fruits/flowers:mature flowers
notes:"Yes. The striation of the stem is distinct, and the pith is not chambered but continuous. The top of the capsule is intermediate in character between that of effusus and that of inflexus. The basal sheaths have partly dried of a duller colour than in some forms of the hybrid, and more like those of effusus, although showing in places the dark shining colour of those in inflexus. Was Mr Wallace able to ascertain the number of stamens, and the form of the anthers? I believe that these hybrids cannot all be brought under the description of J. diffusus Hoppe." J E Little.
