Luzula multiflora, the common woodrush[2] or heath wood-rush,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the rush family.

In the past, common woodrush was classified as a variety of a European species, or Luzula campestris multiflora.

In spite of the resemblance of rushes and woodrushes to grasses or sedges, they have the same number and arrangement of flower parts as lilies.

[7] Common woodrush is fairly easy to identify with its leaves fringed with long, white hairs (common for Luzula species) and the terminal, spike clusters of 6-parted flowers on variable length stalks, replaced by round capsules starting in late spring.

[4] Common woodrush leaves often turn reddish in response to stressful conditions [8] Luzula multiflora resembles a grass in its vegetative state, but its seeds and scaly tepals are similar to those of other species in the rush family (Juncaceae).
