This is a very common rush which as you would expect grows by streams, lakes, dune slacks and in boggy places generally. The joints referred to are distinct septa (hard bits) inside the main stem. You can feel the joints as bumps if you squeeze the stem gently between forefinger and thumb and run it down the stem.
