- Title

- Abstract
The article offers observation on the ecology of Juncus conglomeratus and Juncus effusus in Great Britain. Differences in their capsule and stem are the only thing that separates the two species. It notes that the Biological Flora of the British Isles failed to take into account the very widespread distribution of the J. effusus variety, which is often mistaken for J. conglomeratus. Specimens of J. conglomeratus can be found in some Wales localities such as the Conway Valley and Cwm Gwara. The distribution of these species can be described as patchy and rare among an abundance of other rush species. However, J. effusus species and its variety have an extensive distribution on the mountain slopes, poor pastures retrogressive to moorland, and open parts of the woods in North Wales counties.
