It is a perennial inhabiting wetland, Eriophorum gracile; its rhizomes crawl sideways and extend runners long but do not grow to clusters. Stems measure 20-50cm in height, with radical leaves occasionally extending longer than the stems. The other leaves are slender, long, and 2-3mm wide. Flower stalks, slim and tender, bear 2-5 spikes at the tips; perianth lobes are white and fluffy, grow as long as 2cm long in the flowering time, and become into one cluster. Bloom time: May-July.
