The Sedum villosum or Hairy sedum ( Sedum villosum ) is a plant from the genus of sedum ( Sedum ) in the family of Crassulaceae (Crassulaceae). It is threatened with extinction in Germany.
features
The marsh sedum plant is a mostly single-growing, evergreen, rosette-free, mostly biennial, rarely also annual or perennial, hemicryptophyte that reaches heights of 5 to 20 centimeters. It is very hairy and glandular and often forms short, sterile side shoots. The leaves are subpulate, half-stemmed, blunt at the tip and 4 to 7 millimeters long. There are 5 pink petals . These are twice as long as the sepals , elliptical, often pointed and pink with a darker central nerve. There are (5 to) 10 stamens .
Flowering time is from June to July. The flowers are pollinated by insects. The seeds are spread by insects or water.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 30.
Occurrence
The marsh sedum plant occurs in seeping spring meadows, flat moors, ditch edges, as well as nutrient-poor moors and moors. She avoids lime. It thrives on open, oozing or ground-wet, moderately acidic, sandy or pure swamp humus soils or peat soils, also on wet humus sand or stone. It is a pioneer plant. It occurs in societies of the Cardamino-Montion association or in incomplete societies of the Scheuchzerio-Caricetea fuscae class.
The distribution area includes the meridional / submeridional to arctic zone in Europe , Greenland and part of eastern North America. The species is rarely found in Germany in the Alps , in the foothills of the Alps , near Kirchroth / Danube, in the southern Black Forest , on the Hohen Meißner , on the Vogelsberg , in the Rhön and in the Harzgrund near Suhl . It is considered extinct in Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Brandenburg and Saxony. It has fallen sharply or has completely disappeared in numerous areas in Central Europe.
The species, which is considered a pioneer plant, can be promoted through extensive mowing or grazing in connection with soil wounds. This has been practiced for decades at the only known location in Thuringia, for example.
