Anatomy
Summary of leaf anatomy (German)
Obere Epidermiszellen gleich gross wie untere. Versteifungselemente linienförmig am Blattrand. Verbindungs-Steg zwischen oberer und unterer Epidermis homogen verholzt. Leitbündel im Verbindungs-Steg unten eingebettet. Leitbündelhülle verholzt.Summary of stem anatomy (German)
Umriss exakt dreieckig. Leitbündel in mehreren Reihen. Konische Stützen. Grosse, unregelmässige Intercellularen. Epidermiszellen aussen verholzt. Epidermiszellen mit Papillen.Description
Culm-diameter 1-2 mm, center full, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness 1:1. Outline triangular, acutely. Culm-center full, containing unlignified cells. Epidermis papillous (bulliform). Epidermis cells inside thin, peripheral thicker-walled (lignified). Large vascular bundles arranged in 2-3 peripheral rows. Chlorenchyma in round, oval, square or rectangular groups. Sclerenchyma belt absent. Groups of sclerenchyma square or rectangular. Vascular bundles collateral closed. Small sclerenchymatic sheath around vascular bundles with 1-2 cells. Vessels arrangement in vascular bundles in lateral position. Largest vessel in the bundle 20-50 μm. Cavities (intercellulars) between parenchyma-cells round, oval or radial. Distinct cavities (intercellulars) in the protoxylem area of vascular bundles. Crystals absent. Crystals as sand.Distribution map (Atlas)

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. |
