Luzula subcongesta
Donner woodrush is a small rhizomatous perennial rush from the high mountains of California and Oregon, forming grasslike clumps in wet subalpine and alpine meadows. It is a wild native rather than a common garden or houseplant, so cultivation is mainly for native or alpine plantings with consistently moist soil.
Luzula subcongesta is a species of flowering plant in the rush family known by the common name Donner woodrush. It is native to the high mountains of California, from the Klamath Mountains, where its distribution extends into Oregon, to the Sierra Nevada, where it may occur just inside Nevada as well.
