luxuriance

Rich, excessive growth

Luxuriance is abundant, lush growth or richness—the quality of flourishing extravagantly.

It often describes vegetation: the luxuriance of a tropical rainforest, hair of remarkable luxuriance.

The word extends to anything characterized by profuse abundance or elaboration: the luxuriance of baroque ornamentation, a prose style of almost overwhelming luxuriance.
