Vielblütige Hainsimse
<em>Luzula multiflora</em>, the common wood rush, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Juncaceae. It has a broad, nearly cosmopolitan distribution, occurring across Europe, Asia, North America, and parts of the Southern Hemisphere, where it grows in a wide range of habitats including meadows, heathlands, open woodlands, grasslands, and mountain slopes. The species typically forms tufted clumps of grass-like leaves that are sparsely hairy along the margins, a characteristic shared by many members of the genus. Flowering stems reach roughly 10–40 cm in height and bear dense clusters of small brown flowers arranged in rounded heads. It thrives in well-drained to moderately moist, often acidic soils and tolerates a wide range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade. Biological traits such as average lifespan, precise body measurements, and detailed population data remain poorly documented in consolidated scientific literature. <em>Luzula multiflora</em> plays an ecological role in many grassland and heathland communities, providing ground cover and contributing to soil stability. It is assessed as Least Concern given its wide distribution and abundance across multiple continents.
