Juncus repens, the lesser creeping rush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Juncaceae.[2] It is native to the southeastern United States, Cuba, and Tabasco in Mexico.[1] It has been observed growing in habitats such as in streams, lakes, ponds, and within ditches.[3] When fully submerged, it continues to grow, so it has found use as a freshwater aquarium plant.[4]
