Occurrence

Rock and moraine rubble, crevices, often wind-exposed places on lime-poor, but base-rich rocks at altitudes between 1300 and 3700 meters are preferred. The real rue is a species of Androsacetum vandellii.

The real rue is common in the mountains of central and southwestern Europe. It occurs in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, on the Balkan Peninsula, in Bulgaria and Romania. In Austria the plant can be found scattered or rarely in Styria, Upper Carinthia, Salzburg, Tyrol and Vorarlberg. In the Allgäu Alps, it rises on the Linkerskopf in Bavaria up to 2400 m above sea level.

Systematics

Artemisia umbelliformis was published in 1783 by Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck in Encyclopédie Méthodique: Botanique. Volume 1, p. 262, first described . Synonyms are Artemisia gabriellae Braun-Blanq. , Artemisia laxa Fritsch and Artemisia mutellina Vill. non SG Gmel. 1774.

One can distinguish the following subspecies:

  • Artemisia umbelliformis Lam. subsp. umbelliformis : It occurs in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
  • Artemisia umbelliformis subsp. eriantha (Ten.) Vallès-Xirau & Oliva Brañas (Syn .: Artemisia eriantha Ten. ): It occurs in Spain, France, Italy, on the Balkan Peninsula, in Poland, Slovakia and Romania.

Common names

In German-speaking countries, the common names Edelrauten ( Carinthia , Augsburg ), Genippkraut ( Switzerland ), Schneppi and Wildnisskraut (Carinthia) are or were used for this plant species, in some cases only regionally .

Special features, hazards and protective measures

The real rue is in great demand as an ornamental and medicinal herb, and as a result has become rare and partly eradicated. The mountain farmers used them as a home remedy (folk medicinal plant) against fever, pneumonia and pleurisy, as a stomach-strengthening agent and to flavor liqueurs. To protect the species, it is grown in culture to protect the wild population.
