Rush (Juncus flavidus)
Rush prefers moist to wet conditions and thrives in depressions and drains, tolerating drier conditions throughout the summer months, providing excellent habitat for a range of small animals such as frogs, birds and lizards. Rush has erect dull yellow-green to blue-green stems and has straw-coloured flowers that appear from November through to May. Like many types of juncus, this rush is used in traditional Aboriginal string and basket making by diverse Aboriginal groups across the south-east of Australia.
