plant id (richeas again?)

| A year ago a got a bunch of seed packets from the wildseed tassie. I've had mixed results with some species giving 100% germination and some 0 (germination inversely proportional to desirablility, it seems :). Anyway, with the left over seed I just sprinkled it over any old pots I had which hadn't done anything for a year. Something has come up in all these pots and I would say it was richea pandanifolia, but for a few details - 1) the roots are fleshy rather than fine, 2) the leaves have thin red lines like a luzula 3) the leaf margins are smooth rather than finely serrated.
Any ideas?

| I think it may be Juncus planifolius, a rather weedy native that you often find in damp road ditches etc. |

| Tony - I think you're right. Won't know for sure until it flowers, but that is very believable. The roots certainly look like juncus. |
