Juncus pilosus L. Luzula pilosa is a species of flowering plant in the rush family Juncaceae with the common name hairy wood-rush.

The leaves are blunt, about 4mm wide, the leaf margins fringed with long fine hairs.

[1] In North America the common name "hairy wood rush" is given to a similar but different species, Luzula acuminata.

[2] It avoids competition, and in lowland locations occurs among leaf litter or moss.

The geographical distribution of the native range includes the British Isles, northern Europe, largely avoiding the Mediterranean, and north-western Asia.
