Eriophorum latifolium, commonly known as broad-leaved bog-cotton and broad leaved cotton grass[2][3] is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Cyperaceae.

[4] Eriophorum latifolium was first described by the German pharmacist, botanist, entomologist and physician David Heinrich Hoppe in 1800.

[1] Eriophorum latifolium is native to Europe.

Some authorities report that its range extends into Asia as far as North Korea,[4] while others claim it is strictly a European species not found east of the Urals.
