Comment/Acknowledgements:
Stewart (l.c.) placed specimens of this species under 3 different species (see synonymy given above).
Juncus acutiflorus
Ehrh. ex Hoffm. is a taller species with capsules having 12 seeds only and tepals have awn-like points.
Nasir
2815 cited for this species by Stewart is no doubt
Juncus kotschyi
(with capsules having c 30 seeds). Snogerup (l.c.) also keeps it under his
Juncus fontanesii
subsp.
kotschyi
(Boils.) Snog. The other 2 gatherings (
Lace
131 and
Stewart
783) cited under
Juncus acutiflorus
also seem cases of misidentification. Same is the case of
Jafri & Akbar
1763 cited under
Juncus fontanesii
by Stewart (l.c.39); it belongs to
Juncus kotschyi.
However, there is every possibility of occurrence of true
Juncus fontanesii
in our area. The other 2 gatherings cited under
Juncus fontanesii
by Stewart (l.c. 40) also belongs to
Juncus kotschyi
(see Snog., l.c. 25 also). It is, therefore, evident that specimens cited under all the allied species need checking and probebly they all belong here.

Similar to the previous species but flowering heads globose on shorter peduncles, somewhat larger perianth segments and capsules more acute. Differs from
Juncus fontanesii
Gay (s.st.) by the absence of stolons and plants shorter (10-25 cm tall).
