description

Real hair strand ( Peucedanum officinale )

The kind is a perennial herbaceous plant ( Hemikryptophyt ). It becomes up to 2 m high and has a spreading habit. The leaves are divided into three numbers. When they are young, their pinnate sections are pointed forward at an acute angle, resulting in a broom-like effect. Later they are spread out, up to 10 cm long, 1 to 3 mm wide and pointed.

The umbels are large and have up to 4 bracts (but these often sloping). The flowers are yellow. The fruit is oval, usually 5 mm (up to 10 mm) long, 3 to 5 mm wide and has broad ribs (difficult to see on dried material.)

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 66.

Location requirements

Peucedanum officinale grows individually or in loose stocks in light-rich, lime-rich, alkaline, moderately dry, but at times somewhat watery places. Natural growth sites are perennial fringes, exposed stands of dry oak forests or little-used, poor meadows. The real hair strand is a character species of the Geranion sanguinei association in Central Europe, but also occurs in alluvial mesobrometes or in the Potentillo albae-Quercion petraeae.

General distribution
