Rush:
the papyrus (Job 8:11). (See BULRUSH.) The expression "branch and rush" in Isa 9:14; 19:15 means "utterly."
Rush:
(1) (gome'; papuros, "bulrushes," margin "papyrus" (Ex 2:3); "rush," margin "papyrus" (Job 8:11); "papyrus," the King James Version "rush" (Isa 18:2); "rushes" (Isa 35:7)): This is almost certainly the famous papyrus, Cyperus papyrus (Natural Order, Cyperaceae), known in Arabic as babir (whence comes our word "paper"). This plant, the finest of the sedges, flourishes plentifully in Upper Egypt; in Palestine there is a great mass of it growing in the marsh to the North of Lake Huleh, and it also occurs on the Lake of Galilee and the Jordan. Light boats of plaited papyrus have been used on the Nile from ancient times and are mentioned by many writers (compare Ex 2:3; Isa 18:2).
(2) ('aghmon, "rope," margin "Hebrew ‘a rope of rushes,' " the King James Version "hook" (Job 41:2): "(burning) rushes," the King James Version "caldron" (Job 41:20); "rush," the King James Version "bulrush" (Isa 58:5); "rush" in Isa 9:14; 19:15, used of the humble and lowly folk as contrasted with the "palm branch," the highest class): The word ‘aghmon comes from ‘agham, meaning a marsh (see POOL), being transferred from the place of the things growing there. The word doubtless includes not only the rushes-of which there are several kinds in Palestine-but also members of the sedge family, the Cyperaceae.

Rush: A Reed Growing in Moist Places.
Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and RUSH, in one day. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. (Isaiah 9:14)
Bulrush:
(1.) In Isa 58:5 the rendering of a word which denotes "belonging to a marsh," from the nature of the soil in which it grows (Isa 18:2). It was sometimes platted into ropes (Job 41:2; A.V., "hook," R.V., "rope," lit. "cord of rushes").
(2.) In Exd 2:3, Isa 18:2 (R.V., "papyrus") this word is the translation of the Hebrew gome, which designates the plant as absorbing moisture. In Isa 35:7 and Job 8:11 it is rendered "rush." This was the Egyptian papyrus (papyrus Nilotica). It was anciently very abundant in Egypt. The Egyptians made garments and shoes and various utensils of it. It was used for the construction of the ark of Moses (Exd 2:3,5). The root portions of the stem were used for food. The inside bark was cut into strips, which were sewed together and dried in the sun, forming the papyrus used for writing. It is no longer found in Egypt, but grows luxuriantly in Palestine, in the marshes of the Huleh, and in the swamps at the north end of the Lake of Gennesaret. (See CANE.)
