description
Vegetative characteristics
The forest soldanelle grows as a perennial herbaceous plant . There is a creeping "rhizome". The simple leaf blade is up to 7 centimeters wide, round to kidney-shaped and weakly notched.
Generative characteristics
The flowering time extends from April to June, depending on the location. The inflorescence shafts are 10 to 20 centimeters, exceptionally up to 35 centimeters high and each carry three to ten flowers. The bluish corolla is torn.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 40, less often 38.
Similar species
The forest soldanelle differs from the similar alpine soldanelle by its wider leaf blade and the more numerous flowers on the inflorescence shafts.
Occurrence
The forest soldanelle occurs in the eastern foothills of the Alps , in the eastern part of the Northern Limestone Alps as far as the Wiener Schneeberg , in the Bavarian Forest and in the Bohemian Forest and in the Waldviertel .
It prefers altitudes of 500 to 1500 meters. It grows on mossy, nutrient-poor and base-poor, acidic raw humus soils and thus has completely different requirements than the Alpine soldanelle, which prefers calcareous soils . It colonizes wet areas in not too dense spruce forests, but it also goes on gaps, wet and boggy forest meadows and on dry spots in raised and intermediate bogs. At its locations, it is almost always inventory-building. It is a character species of the Association of Spruce Forests (Piceion). In the Bavarian Forest it is a character species of the Calamagrostio villosae-Piceetum.
