description

Vegetative characteristics

The Austrian Speedwell grows as a perennial herbaceous plant that usually reaches heights of 15 to 25, rarely up to 50 centimeters. The erect or at least arching stems are round and hairy all around. The plant has no glands and does not form runners .

The stem leaves are lanceolate, sessile or short-stalked, almost entire to pinnate and not very hairy. At least most of the stem leaves above the inflorescences are linear and mostly with entire margins. The leaf margin is clearly rolled down. The middle and lower leaves are 3 to 10 (up to 15) millimeters wide and linear-lanceolate. The edge is often slightly rolled over.

Generative characteristics

The flowering period extends from May to June. The long-stalked, racemose inflorescences have no bracts .

The hermaphrodite flowers are fivefold. The hairy calyx is five-part, the rear (= upper) tip is smaller than the rest. The dark azure blue and dark striped crown has a diameter of usually 10 to 15 (8 to 18) millimeters. The throat is white. The stylus is 4 to 5 millimeters long. The hairy capsule fruit is sharply angled and slightly flattened.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 64 or 48.
