Species description (© Flora Helvetica 2018)
30-100 cm hoch. Blätter bis 10 mm breit, beidseits rau. Blatthäutchen breiter als lang, gestutzt, bewimpert. Blütenstand dicht ährig-zylindrisch, 3-8 cm lang und 6-10(-15) mm dick. Ährchen einblütig, mit zwei 4-7 mm langen, unten verwachsenen, gekielten und spitzen, am Kiel lang behaarten Hüllspelzen. Deckspelze so lang wie die Hüllspelzen, auf dem Rücken mit 6-10 mm langer, weit aus dem Ährchen ragender Granne.Flowering period (© Flora Helvetica 2018)

Anatomy
Summary of leaf anatomy (German)
Obere Epidermiszellen gleich gross wie untere. Verbindungs-Steg zwischen oberer und unterer Epidermis aus verholzten und nicht verholzten Zellen. Leitbündel im Verbindungs-Steg in der Mitte eingebettet. Leitbündelhülle nicht verholzt.Summary of stem anatomy (German)
Umriss rund oder oval. Leitbündel in einer Reihe. Rechteckige Stützen. Epidermiszellen aussen verholzt. Chlorenchyma in peripheren runden, ovalen oder rechteckigen Gruppen.Description
Culm-diameter 1-2 mm, wall thin, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness approximately 1:0.25 or < 0.25. Outline circular, with rips. Culm-center hollow and surrounded by a few thin-walled, not lignified cells. Epidermis-cells thick-walled all around. Large vascular bundles arranged in one peripheral row. Chlorenchyma in round, oval, square or rectangular groups. Sclerenchyma in a large, peripheral continuous belt (> 3 cells). Cells medium thick-walled. Girders square, rectangular or conic. Small sclerenchymatic sheath with 1-2 cells around vascular bundles. Largest vessels in vascular bundles in lateral position. Largest vessel in the bundle small, < 20μm. Distinct cavities (intercellulars) in the protoxylem area of vascular bundles.Distribution map

- Disclaimer
InfoFlora compiles information on protected species as accurately as possible, taking it from the respective cantonal laws. In some cases, however, it was not possible to use the plant names as listed in the original text, but an interpretation of their taxonomy or nomenclature was necessary. The exact meaning of the categories „completely protected“ and „partially protected“ differs among the cantons.
InfoFlora cannot guarantee that the information on the protection status is correct and complete. In case of doubts, we recommend to look up the texts of the respective cantonal law.
