Luzula Pilosa Var. Macrocarpa

Large-fruited woodrush, scientifically known as Luzula pilosa var. macrocarpa, is a striking member of the plant family Plantaginaceae. This variant of the common woodrush is distinguished by its notably larger, fleshy fruits that stand out among its more modest relatives. Native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, it thrives in moist, shaded environments such as forest floors and rocky stream banks. Its unique morphology and ecological role make it a fascinating subject for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in popular horticulture, yet holds significant value in ecological studies and conservation efforts.
