The Mediterranean Günsel or musk Günsel ( Ajuga iva ) is a plant type from the family of the Labiatae (Lamiaceae).
description
The Mediterranean Günsel is a grass-forming, perennial plant , the stem axis of which is 5 to 20 cm high, mostly heavily branched and woody at the bottom. The plants are hairy or shaggy-woolly. The leaves have a length of 14 to 35 mm and a width of 3 to 6 (rarely up to 8) mm. They are linear to linear-elongated and have entire margins or have two to six short lobes.
The bracts are similar to the leaves and protrude beyond the flowers . Two to four flowers grow per node . These have a 3.5 to 4.5 mm long calyx , the teeth of which are just as long or shorter than the calyx tube. The crown is 12 to 20 mm long, colored purple, pink or yellow. The corolla tube protrudes from the cup, the upper lip is not divided. The anthers protrude beyond the crown, the stamens are hairy.
The Mediterranean Günsel blooms on the Iberian Peninsula from April to October.
It is decaploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 80 or about 86.
Systematics
The Mediterranean Günsel was 1753 by Linnaeus in Species Plantarum under the Basionym Teucrium iva L. first published . Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber placed it in the genus Ajuga in 1773 .
There are two varieties of Mediterranean Günsel:
- Ajuga iva (L.) Schreb. var. iva ; this variety has red or pink flowers and loose hairs. It occurs almost in the whole Mediterranean area.
- Ajuga iva var. Pseudoiva (Labill. & Castagne ex DC.) Steud. , Syn .: Ajuga pseudoiva DC. , Ajuga iva subsp. pseudoiva (Labill. & Castagne ex DC.) Briq. ; this variety has yellow flowers and thicker hairs. It occurs in Macaronesia, in the western Mediterranean region and in Cyprus.
Occurrence
The Mediterranean Günsel is common in Macaronesia and the Mediterranean region. It occurs in south-western Europe in the floristic territories of Portugal , Spain , the Balearic Islands , France , Corsica and Sardinia , in south-eastern Europe in Italy , Sicily , in the former Yugoslavia , Greece and Crete , in Macaronesia on the Cape Verde Islands of Santo Antão , São Vicente , São Nicolau , Sal and Santiago , on all the Canary Islands as well as on the island of Porto Santo in the Madeira Archipelago , in North Africa in the Western Sahara , in Morocco , Algeria , Tunisia , Libya and Egypt and in Western Asia on the East Aegean Islands , Anatolia , Cyprus , in the Palestine region and on the Sinai Peninsula .
