The plant is widely distributed in northern Eurasia, from Great Britain and Scandinavia, through north−Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia, to the Himalayas and Northeast Asia. [2]

Luzula pallescens is 9–15 centimetres (3.5–5.9 in) tall with its basal leaves being of 2–3 centimetres (0.79–1.18 in) wide. It cauline leaves are 3.0–5.5 centimetres (1.2–2.2 in) tall and 2–5 millimetres (0.079–0.197 in) wide.
The length of the lower bract is 3–4 centimetres (1.2–1.6 in), while its peduncles are 2.0–5.5 centimetres (0.79–2.17 in) in length. [2]
Liquidambar, commonly called sweetgum (star gum in the UK), gum, redgum, satin-walnut, or American storax, is the only genus in the flowering plant family Altingiaceae and has 15 species.
