Species description (© Flora Helvetica 2018)
Stängel 20-50 cm hoch, mit lineal-lanzettlichen, hohlrinnigen, blaugrünen Blättern, auch die oberen mit abstehender Spreite. Blütenstand locker. Blüten violett, lila oder rosa. Die seitlichen äusseren Perigonblätter aufwärts abstehend, die 3 übrigen zusammenneigend, die äusseren deutlich länger als die inneren. Lippe mit dunkelroten Flecken, 12-15 mm lang, im Umriss rundlich, breiter als lang, seicht 3teilig. Sporn gerade, +/- horizontal, wenig kürzer als der Fruchtknoten.Flowering period (© Flora Helvetica 2018)

Anatomy
Summary of stem anatomy (German)
Umriss rund oder oval. Leitbündel in mehreren Reihen. Kleine Interzellularen, oft dreieckig. Epidermiszellen nicht verholzt.Description
Culm-diameter 2-5 mm, wall large, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness approximately 1:0.5. Outline circular with a smooth surface. Center hollow and surrounded by many large thin-walled, not lignified cells. Without cortex/cylinder separation. Culm without endodermis but with a sheath of lignified cells around the center. Epidermis smooth. Epidermis cells thin-walled all around. Large vascular bundles arranged in 2-3 peripheral rows. Chlorenchyma present, continuous peripheral belt with unlignified round cells (like a large cortex). Vascular bundles concentric, phloem in the center. Sheath around vascular bundles absent or not lignified. Vessel arrangement irregularly grouped or distributed. Largest vessel in the bundle small, < 20 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. |
