Members of the Juncaceae, are commonly known as rushes. Their flowers DO have a perianth, The perianth parts are small and green or brown, and often overlooked. As in many other monocot families, the petals and sepals are similar in size and color, and are often refered to as "tepals". The inflorescence is often open and panicle-like.

Therefore, the flowers of the Juncaceae differ from those of the Cyperaceae and Poaceae. Those differences are shown below.
