Anatomy

Summary of leaf anatomy (German)

Obere Epidermiszellen grösser als untere. Epidermis mit Papillen.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 exakt dreieckig. Leitbündel in mehreren Reihen. Rechteckige Stützen. Kleine Interzellularen, oft dreieckig. Grosse, unregelmässige Intercellularen. Epidermiszellen aussen verholzt. Epidermiszellen mit Papillen.

Description

Culm-diameter 1-2 mm, wall very large, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness approximately 1: 0.75. Outline triangular, acutely. Culm-center hollow and surrounded by many large thin-walled, not lignified cells. Epidermis papillous (bulliform). Epidermis cells inside thin, peripheral thicker-walled (lignified). Large vascular bundles arranged in 2-3 peripheral rows. Small or rudimentary vascular bundles within the chlorenchyma. Chlorenchyma in round, oval, square or rectangular groups. Sclerenchyma belt absent. Groups of sclerenchyma square or rectangular. Vascular bundles collateral closed. Sclerenchymatic sheath around vascular bundles circular large, 3 to x cells. Vessels arrangement in vascular bundles in lateral position. Largest vessel in the bundle 20-50 μm. Cavities (intercellulars) between parenchyma-cells small, often triangular. Cavities (intercellulars) between parenchymacells round, oval or radial. Distinct cavities (intercellulars) in the protoxylem area of vascular bundles. Crystals absent.

  • 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.
