Luzula (Juncaceae). Seeds of the following three species had been DS about 8 m. L luzuloides and L. pilosa germ. 70L(42% in 1-4 w), 70D(16% in 5-7 w), and 40- 70D(none) suggesting that light promoted germination somewhat, and that possibly the light effect was disappearing on DS. All three failed to germinate a single seed in 70 GA-3. Seeds of all three were dead after 2 y DS.
