Trichophorum alpinum, commonly known as alpine bulrush[1] or cotton deergrass,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family. It has a circumboreal distribution, occurring throughout the northern latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. It is present in Europe, Asia, and northern North America.[3] This sedge produces stems up to 40 centimeters (16 in) tall from a short rhizome. The leaves are no more than a centimeter long. The flowers have cottony white bristles that may extend 2 centimeters (0.79 in) past the spikelet.[3][4] This plant grows in bogs and calcareous mountain meadows.[3]
