The gloss Skabiose ( Scabiosa lucida ), also Shiny Skabiose called, is a plant from the genus of the Marsh ( Scabiosa ) in the subfamily of Dipsacaceae (Dipsacoideae).
description
Vegetative characteristics
The gloss scabiosa grows as a perennial herbaceous plant and reaches heights of 10 to 50 centimeters.
The leaves are arranged in a basal rosette and distributed on the stem. The basal leaves are ovate, notched and mostly glabrous and somewhat shiny. The stem leaves are pinnate with narrow tips and only hairy on the edges or underneath on the nerves.
Generative characteristics
The flowering period extends from July to September. The many relatively small flowers are in a 2.5 to 4 centimeter wide head-shaped inflorescence . The “actual” calyx is transformed into five long, red-brown shiny bristles. These are keeled with marginal strips next to the midrib. The red-purple crown is made up of five parts with unequal tips. The marginal flowers are larger and radiant.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 16.
ecology
The dry-skinned outer calyx, together with the calyx bristles, serves as a parachute during the spread of the diaspores , here the fruits, by the wind.
Occurrence
The distribution area includes the Alps and the mountains of southern and central Europe. It occurs in France , Italy , Slovenia , the Czech Republic , Croatia , Serbia , Bulgaria , Romania , Albania , Germany , Austria , Switzerland , Hungary , Poland and in north-western Ukraine .
This lime-loving plant prefers limestone grasslands , poor pastures, pine forests, rocky slopes, rock debris and flat moor meadows. It thrives at altitudes of 1000 to 2700 meters. In the Allgäu Alps, it rises on the Angererkopf in Bavaria to an altitude of 2100 meters. It is a character species of the order Seslerietalia albicantis and occurs particularly often in the Caricetum ferrugineae and in the Seslerio-Caricetum sempervirentis.
