Description
The rushes are a family of hairless grass-like or sedge-like perennial plants, usually erect and tufted and growing in poorly drained places. The stems are sometimes hollow or filled with pith and the leaves are sheathing. The inconspicuous greenish or brownish flowers are regularly formed which distinguishes them from grasses or sedges.
