Milium Nemorosum

Milium nemorosum, commonly known as the wood millet, is a small flowering plant native to parts of Europe and western Asia. It thrives in moist, shaded environments such as woodlands and stream banks. This delicate plant produces tiny, spike-like inflorescences that bloom in early summer. Its leaves are narrow and grass-like, often forming dense mats on the forest floor. Despite its modest appearance, Milium nemorosum plays an important role in supporting local insect populations and maintaining ecological balance.
