Vegetative characteristics

The fine jet grows as an annual or biennial herbaceous plant and reaches heights of 50 to 100 centimeters. The stem is independently upright. The leaves are simple with a serrate to almost smooth edge.

Generative characteristics

The flowering period extends from June to October. In an umbrella-like overall inflorescence , numerous cup-shaped partial inflorescences are arranged, the terminal inflorescence is dominated by the lateral ones. The green bracts are almost equally long and not hairy.

The white to pale purple ray flowers (ray flowers) are 4 to 10 millimeters long and 0.6 to 1 millimeters wide. The yellow tubular flowers are 2 to 2.8 millimeters long. The pappus of the tubular flowers is very short and single-rowed.

The basic chromosome number is x = 9; were chromosome numbers of 2n = 27, 36 or determined 54th

ecology

With its roots penetrating up to 1 meter into the ground, the fine jet is considered a pioneer plant . It reproduces largely asexually, i.e. H. Seeds are formed even without fertilization ( apomixis ).

Occurrence

The annual fine jet originally occurs in North America. Since the 18th century it has been naturalized as a neophyte in Europe, Turkey, the Caucasus, India, China, Korea, Réunion, New Zealand, Nicaragua and Panama. In Austria the kind is absent-minded to common in all federal states. In Germany, the spread decreases roughly from south to north. It can be found frequently in the Black Forest, but only rarely in some northern German areas. The fine beam is also widespread in Switzerland, where it was included in the black list of invasive neophytes due to its potential for spreading and damage in the areas of biodiversity , health and economy .

The fine jet usually thrives in alluvial forests , damp meadows and ruderal meadows .

The annual fine ray often occurs in Central Europe together with Solidago gigantea in societies of the class Artemisietea.

Systematics

The first publication took place in 1753 under the name (Basionym) Aster annuus by Carl von Linné . The new combination Erigeron annuus (L.) Desf. was published in 1804 by René Louiche Desfontaines . Other synonyms for Erigeron annuus (L.) Desf. are: Phalacroloma annuum (L.) Dumort. , Stenactis annua (L.) Less.

There are several subspecies in Central Europe, the distribution of which has in part been insufficiently researched:

  • Multi-leaf fine ray ( Erigeron annuus (L.) Desf. Subsp. Annuus ): The number of chromosomes is 2n = 27 or 54.
  • Nordic fine beam ( Erigeron annuus subsp. Septentrionalis (Fernald & Wiegand) Wagenitz , Syn .: Erigeron ramosus var. Septentrionalis Fernald & Wiegand ): The number of chromosomes is 2n = 27.
  • Branched fine blasting or harrow Hairy fine beam ( Erigeron annuus subsp. Strigosus (Willdenow) Wagenitz )
