Anatomy
Summary of stem anatomy (German)
Umriss rund oder oval. Leitbündel in mehreren Reihen. Epidermiszellen verholzt.Description
Culm-diameter 2-5 mm, wall very large, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness approximately 1:0.75. Outline circular with a smooth surface. Center hollow and surrounded by many large thin-walled, not lignified cells. Without cortex/cylinder separation. Epidermis smooth. Epidermis thin-, peripheral thicker-walled (lignified). Large vascular bundles arranged in one peripheral row. Small or rudimentary vascular bundles mainly at the periphery. Chlorenchyma present, continuous peripheral belt with unlignified round cells (like a large cortex). Vascular bundles collateral closed. Sclerenchymatic sheath around vascular bundles bilateral, large at both radial ends. Vessels arrangement in vascular bundles in lateral position. Largest vessel in the bundle 20-50 μm. Distinct cavities (intercellulars) in the protoxylem area of vascular bundles.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. |
