Grass-leaved scabiosis, fruiting
Inflorescence and infructescence

Vegetative characteristics

The grass-leaved scabiosa grows as an herbaceous plant and reaches stature heights of rarely 10, mostly 20 to 50 centimeters. The ascending, unbranched stem is closely covered with hair in the upper area.

All leaves are narrow, linear, with entire margins and dense, finely silky hairy ( trichomes ) on both leaf sides .

Generative characteristics

The flowering period extends from July to August or even to September. Each stem ends in just one head-shaped inflorescence . The head-shaped inflorescence has a diameter of 3 to 4.5, rarely up to 6 centimeters. The bracts are narrow-lanceolate. The outer flowers of an inflorescence are larger than the inner ones.

The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic . The outer calyx is 2 to 3.5 millimeters high. The calyx bristles are 3.5 to 5 millimeters long and yellowish. The light purple-colored corollas end with five unequal corolla lobes.

The 3 to 4 millimeter long fruit is dense, hairy long.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 18.

Occurrence

The distribution area of Scabiosa graminifolia includes the countries Morocco , Spain , France , Italy , Switzerland , Croatia , Slovenia , Serbia , Albania and Greece . Scabiosa graminifolia is widespread in Europe from northeastern Spain through southern France and the southern part of the Swiss canton of Ticino to northern and central Italy and on the Balkan Peninsula from former Yugoslavia to Albania and Greece.

Scabiosa graminifolia thrives on limestone rocks and their rubble .

Taxonomy and systematics

The first publication took place in 1755 under the name ( Basionym ) Scabiosa graminifolia by Carl von Linné . The new combination to Lomelosia graminifolia (L.) Greuter & Burdet was published in 1985 by Werner Greuter and Hervé Maurice Burdet in Willdenowia , Volume 15, p. 74.

One can distinguish between two subspecies:

  • Lomelosia graminifolia subsp. graminifolia : It occurs in Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia.
  • Lomelosia graminifolia subsp. arizagae (Uribe-Ech. & Alejandre) Romo : It occurs in Spain.
