Juncus sp. (Finland, Lammi, Evo, 1991). – Image: Harri Harmaja (scanned from dried specimen). – Most probably a monstrosity is concerned: the spikes are globose and the flowers seem to consist entirely of small perianth lobes. Apparently the species is J. alpinoarticulatus, J. articulatus or their hybrid. The habitat is almost fully natural, slightly paludified, sandy lakeshore. Accompanying plant species include Carex buxbaumii s. str., C. echinata, C. flava, C. panicea, C. vaginata, Juncus alpinoarticulatus, J. cf. articulatus, Molinia caerulea, Rhododendron tomentosum (Ledum palustre), and Vaccinium uliginosum.
