Juncus arcticus var. mexicanus is the common phase of the species in the extreme southwest United States and Mexico; northward the variety becomes sporadic in its occurrence. Rare individuals having leaves with blades are sometimes found in otherwise bladeless populations in more northern areas but it is doubtful that these oddities represent an equivalent variant.
