Sedge ID, if possible (1 Viewer)

I found this sedge, growing in Cornwall.
The ground is basically grasses with, in places, a sphagnum type moss. Just visible, bottom centre image #2.
I strongly suspect that it is seasonally flooded by the Red River which runs at one side.
The plant was approx 10cm tall.

Not a sedge but a clubrush. Luzula campestris.

Thanks, aeshna5
I checked further to be informed by both "The Online Atlas of the British and Irish flora," and Flora of Cornwall (2020) that it is native, and known by various common names. The RHS website, however, lists it as non-native, and with the common name of Australian glow worm grass. Hmmmmmm!!

Field wood-rush is the standard British common name I believe

Thanks, James. Yes I agree with Field wood-rush.

I'm afraid I didn't make clear was that my comment was more to do with the sometimes(?) dubious quality of the info on the RHS website.
Another example of this is Silene dioca "Rollie's Favourite". On the RHS site, this is listed as Name Status - Accepted, with the synonyms:-
Silene robotii 'Rollies Favourite'
Lychnis 'Rollie's Favorite'
Lychnis 'Rolly's Favorite'
Lychnis × Silene 'Rollies Favourite'

The breeder, as far as I can determine, named this plant as Silene x robotii 'Rollies Favourite', as it was a hybrid between a Silene spp and a Lychnis spp.
I do know that Lychnis and Silene are often considered to be synonymous. Even if it is considered to be a Silene x Silene cross, it is still a hybrid.
As a hybrid, taxonomically, it CANNOT be named as a variety of a species.
