rush family. In general, rushes tend to prefer more water than grasses and sedges and to be more evergreen than grasses and sedges. Most rushes are either usually or always found in wetlands, although woodrushes (in the Luzula genus) tend to require somewhat less water than other rushes (in the Juncus genus). Many of them are native to the Yuba-Sutter area.
