[Kirschner (2002c) describes Juncus ranarius as a facultative halophyte, which is usually found along the margins of saline muddy pools, sand flats, and coastal habitats, as well as near fresh water springs and ephemeral wet tracks. Fernald (1970) also notes that J. ranarius (reported as J. bufonius var. halophilus) is more succulent than J. bufonius and occurs in brackish or saline soils.]
