Spiny Rush is a salt marsh plant. It can be brown or green. The
stems have a sharp tip so stay back. There are no leaves on the plant. Spiny
Rush is about as tall as a second grader. Spiny Rush looks like tall grass growing
in a bunch like a porcupine. Sometimes there are brownish-gold flowers and fuzzy
brown seeds at the tippy top of the spiny stem. Spiny Rush used to be woven
into small boats and baskets by the Indians.
