The narrow-leaved hollow tooth ( Galeopsis angustifolia ) is a species of the mint family (Lamiaceae). It blooms from June to October.

Appearance

The annual or biennial herbaceous plant reaches a stature height of 10 to 40 cm. The stem is upright and usually has very long branches. It is coarse, often red and mostly downy or hairy with weak glands. The leaves - especially the bracts - are often linear, usually only 2 to 5 mm, in broad-leaved varieties also up to 15 mm wide and gradually narrowing into the very short petiole. They are very shallowly notched (0 to 4 teeth on each side) and usually lightly hairy. The flowers are dense in more or less distant glow whisk . The calyx is hairy close-fitting and downy. The crown is purple, about two inches long and about three times as long as the calyx. The lower lip has a yellow spot with a purple grid pattern and in the throat on each side a more or less upright, hollow hump, indented from below. The narrow-leaved hollow tooth blooms from June to October.

The nuts are approx. 2.5 mm long.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 16.

Location requirements

The narrow-leaved hollow tooth grows in weed debris, on scree slopes, on railway embankments, in fields and also on pastures. It usually prefers warm, dry, more or less lime-rich, mostly low in humus or low in fine earth, loose rock rubble soils (lime, porphyry, basalt) or gravel soils. It is a character species of the Galeopsietum angustifoliae from the association Stipion calamagrostis.

General distribution

Galeopsis angustifolia occurs in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria. It used to be seen in Morocco; in Ireland and Sweden it is a neophyte. It is a sub-Mediterranean-praealpine floral element. In Austria and Switzerland, the species can be found widely dispersed.

Distribution in Germany

The narrow-leaved hollow tooth is quite common in the calcareous areas of the central and southern area. Occurring less frequently and often inconsistently in the north. In some areas, such as in the Allgäu, it occurs particularly on the gravel of the railway tracks and has become a typical railway plant.

Systematics

The narrow-leaved hollow tooth is also referred to by some authors as a subspecies. angustifolia (Ehrh. ex Hoffm.) Gaudin placed on the broad-leaved hollow tooth ( Galeopsis ladanum L. ). It is very rich in shape and partly connected to the broad-leaved hollow tooth ( Galeopsis ladanum ) by transitions .

ecology

The narrow-leaved hollow tooth has roots over a meter deep. The fertilization occurs through insect or through self-pollination.
