description
Appearance and foliage leaf
The shiny rue grows as a grassy, perennial herbaceous plant with heights of up to 40 centimeters. It has whitish or silvery silky, tightly fitting hair ( trichomes ). It smells aromatic.
The alternate leaves are petiolate. The triple pinnate leaf blade has linear leaf sections with a pointed upper end.
Inflorescence, infructescence, flower and fruit
The flowering period extends from August to September. The rather loose, annual inflorescence consists of cup-shaped partial inflorescences, of which the lower stalked and the upper areas are sessile. The hemispherical cups with a diameter of at least 6 millimeters are nodding when the flowers are fully developed. The lower bracts are similar to the stem leaves; the upper bracts, however, are usually simply designed. The adjacent and egg-shaped bracts with pressed hair have a dark edge. The dense and short hairy inflorescence base has no chaff leaves .
There are only tubular flowers . There are more than twenty tubular flowers in a flower head and all of them are fertile . The outer tubes are female and present in fewer numbers than the inner hermaphrodite flowers. The five petals are yellow and the corolla lobes are densely hairy. Two carpels have become an under constant ovary grown. There are two scar branches .
The bald achenes have no pappus .
Chromosome number
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 54.
Occurrence, hazard and protection
The distribution area of the shiny rue is the southern Alps in Austria , Italy and Slovenia .
The Shiny Edelraute colonizes crevices and rocky lawns of the (rarely upper montane to) subalpine and alpine altitudes at altitudes from 1,200 meters to 2,400 meters, especially on calcareous ground .
In Austria and the Italian South Tyrol the shiny noble diamond is very rare; the Austrian stocks are limited to southwestern Carinthia and are classified as potentially endangered. The occurrences in South Tyrol are assessed as endangered in the Red List of Endangered Vascular Plants of South Tyrol and legally protected in Provincial Law No. 6 by including them in the list of completely protected plant species.
