The perennial, evergreen sprout bear moss ( Lycopodium annotinum ), also known as forest bear moss or snake bear moss , is a particularly protected representative of vascular spore plants according to the BArtSchV . In the past the plant was used as a magic or witch plant , as an aphrodisiac and was generally considered a medicinal plant . So it has an ethnobotanical meaning.
description
The sprout bear moss forms crawling rungs above ground that can be up to 1 m long. From these, about 10 to 30 cm tall, ascending shoots grow up, which can carry a densely leafed, directly seated sporophyll stand . The leaves of the ascending shoots resemble the coniferous leaves of conifers. They stand out horizontally, appear relatively rigid, sharply pointed and are finely serrated. However, there is no hair tip. The individual sporophyll stands sit directly on the leaf shoot and are about 2 to 4 cm long.
The sprouting Bärlapp forms visible sporophyll levels between August and September.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 68.
Occurrence
The sprouting bear moss occurs in a circumpolar manner in the entire northern and southern hemisphere. It inhabits the temperate and boreal zones of the northern hemisphere in Europe, Asia and North America; especially in Europe, its distribution area extends from Norway to the Alps, the Apennines, the Carpathians and Croatia, it is also rarely found in the Pyrenees and in western France; in the southern part of England, in the central and northern part of Russia, it occurs sparsely; it is rarely found in Ireland or is absent there altogether. In the Alps it usually rises to an altitude of 2000 m, but occasionally also up to 2800 m. In the Allgäu Alps, it rises in the Tyrolean part of the Rohnenspitze near Zöblen up to 1970 m above sea level.
It occurs in damp, acidic, shady forests, especially in coniferous, bog and beech forests, and rarely in dwarf shrub heaths . He is a species of character of the order Piceetalia.
In Austria it is moderately common, in the German federal states it is seldom to very rare. In most federal states, it is classified as endangered or endangered on the red list of vascular plants because of its rarity. It is also particularly protected by the BArtSchV .
