The autumn adonis is an annual herbaceous plant and reaches heights of 30 to 40 centimeters. The stems are branched. The alternate leaves are pinnate.

Generative characteristics

The flowering time is in summer, from June to September. The hermaphrodite flowers are radially symmetrical with a diameter of about 2.5 centimeters . The sepals are protruding. The five to eight shiny, bright red, free petals soon fall off. The center of the flower is black.

A common nut fruit is formed.

The basic chromosome number is x = 8. There is tetraploidy with a chromosome number of 2n = 32.

ingredients

The Herbst-Adonisröschen contains 0.1% to 0.7% cardenolides , especially adonitoxin and cymarin . The glycoside content is highest during the flowering period.

ecology

The Herbst-Adonisröschen is a mesomorphic therophyte .

There is a UV pattern on the petals. From an ecological point of view, these are pollen flowers. Insect pollination is likely to take place , with short-nosed bees , hoverflies (Syrphidae), beetles and flies being pollinators.

The diaspores are the fruits.

distribution

The fall honeysuckle comes from southern Europe and southwestern Asia . It was introduced into Northern Europe as early as the Neolithic through contaminated seeds (so-called Speirochorie ) and was to be found frequently in grain fields on calcareous soils until the end of the 19th century. With the improvement of the seed cleaning, the autumn honeysuckle is rarely found in grain fields. This is why this plant species, which used to be considered a weed, is now under protection in Great Britain .
