Anatomy
Summary of leaf anatomy (German)
Obere Epidermiszellen grösser als untere. Punktuelle Versteifungselemente am Blattrand und bei der Blattrippe. Verbindungs-Steg zwischen oberer und unterer Epidermis homogen verholzt. Leitbündel im Verbindungs-Steg in der Mitte eingebettet. Leitbündelhülle verholzt.Summary of stem anatomy (German)
Umriss stumpf-dreieckig. Leitbündel diffus verteilt. Konische Stützen. Kleine Interzellularen, oft dreieckig.Description
Culm-diameter 2-5 mm, center full, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness 1:1. Outline circular with a smooth surface. Outline triangular, obtusely. Culm-center full, containing unlignified cells. Epidermis cells inside thin, peripheral thicker-walled (lignified). Large vascular bundles distributed in the whole culm. Small or rudimentary vascular bundles mainly at the periphery. Chlorenchyma present, continuous peripheral belt with unlignified round cells (like a large cortex). Sclerenchyma belt absent. Groups of sclerenchyma conic. Groups of sclerenchyma at the periphery, round. 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 small, often triangular.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. |
