Did you mean wood rush?
Definitions
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A plant of the genus Luzula: also called glowworm-grass. The field wood-rush, Luzula campestris, is an extremely common low plant of Europe and North America, having clusters of brown chatty flowers appearing early in spring: in Great Britain it is locally called
blackhead- or cuckoo-grass and chimney-sweeps. A larger species, L. sylvatica, has the names wood-blades and wood-grass.
Examples
“Several colorful species thrive here owing to low competition: white-flowered snow whitlowgrass Draba nivalis, diapensia Diapensia lapponica, yellow-flowered Arctic poppy Papaver radicatum, snow cinquefoil Potentilla nivea and the grass-like northern wood-rush Luzula confusa.”
