description

Appearance and foliage leaf

The alpine calf's head grows as a strong, persistent and herbaceous plant with heights of up to 120 centimeters. The almost upright stems branch out at an acute angle. Stems and leaves are almost bare or more or less stiff (bristly) hairy ( trichomes ).

The alternate leaves are divided into leaf sheath , petiole and leaf blade. The compound leaf blades are pinnate several times. The leaflets are narrow and pointed. The sections of the lowest pair of plumage of the 1st order are much smaller than the rest of the blade. Stipules are absent.

Inflorescence, flower and fruit

The flowering period extends from June to August. The flowers are in double-gold inflorescences with upwardly curved rays and often different, back-curved bracts .

The hermaphroditic flowers are radial symmetry and five-fold with a double flower envelope . The sepals are missing. The five mostly white or slightly pink petals are edged and clearly ciliate.

The Doppelachänen are with a length of 8 to 20 millimeters, narrowly egg-shaped-elongated and gradually taper downwards. They have broad, rounded ribs, each with an oil streak . The fruit holder divides into two legs at half its length up to near the base, with the lower, undivided section being much shorter than the legs.

Chromosome set

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 22.

Occurrence

The alpine calf's goiter is native to Spain , France , Germany , Italy , Switzerland , Liechtenstein , Austria , Slovenia , Croatia and Albania . It can be found in southern Finland as a neophyte .

He is in Central Europe, a characteristic species of the association Adenostylion.

The occurrences in Germany are limited to the extreme south of Bavaria in the region of the Bavarian Alps . In the Allgäu Alps, he climbed in the Tyrolean part of the Hermann-von-Barth hut at altitudes of up to 2130 meters.

The alpine calf's goiter occurs in Austria in all federal states except Vienna and Burgenland. It can be found there on subalpine to alpine altitudes, often to scattered in sparse forests, tall herbaceous meadows, on mountain meadows and on the banks of streams.

Systematics

Chaerophyllum villarsii was in 1835 by Wilhelm Daniel Joseph Koch in Synopsis Florae Germanicae et Helveticae , Volume 1, Part 1, page 317 firstdescribed . A synonym for Chaerophyllum villarsii W.DJKoch is Chaerophyllum hirsutum subsp. villarsii (WDJKoch) Arcang.

The alpine calf's goiter, together with the beautiful calf's goiter ( Chaerophyllum elegans ) and the hairy calf's goiter ( Chaerophyllum hirsutum ), belong to a group of related species, the "Chaerophyllum hirsutum - group". In this context it was sometimes treated as a subspecies of the hairy calf's goiter ( Chaerophyllum hirsutum subsp. Villarsii (WDJKoch) Arcang. )
