Description
The endemic dwarf woodrush (Luzula celata) is an inconspicuous, creeping woodrush, forming grey-green to brownish cushion-like tufts, usually less than 4cm diameter. Sometimes half-buried in sand, so that only leaf tips and flowers are visible. Leaves are 1-3cm long with pointed tips and margins clad in long, thickly clustered, soft white hairs. Flowering stems are shorter than the leaves.
