features

The Rispige Blue loosestrife is a deciduous, rosette-free, perennial Geophyt with a Pleiokorm rhizome , the plant height of 50 to 120 centimeters achieved. The stem has moderately dense hairs at the top consisting of 0.1 to 0.2 millimeter long, downwardly curved glandless hairs. The foliage leaf blade is pointed and sharply serrate . In between there is usually longer hair that protrudes and is glandular. The fruit stalks are 2.5 to 5 millimeters long, which is more than 1.5 times the length of the bracts. They and the bracts are covered with very short glandular hairs that are only visible through a magnifying glass, loosely to moderately thick. The bracts are lanceolate and 1 to 3 millimeters long. In addition to the terminal cluster, there are usually 5 to 10 (rarely up to 12) clusters in the axils of the bracts, most of which are almost the same length. The stylus are 3 to 5 (rarely up to 6) millimeters long.

The flowering time is in July. The flowers are females and are pollinated by insects. The seeds spread by shock propagation.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 34.

Occurrence

Rispige blue loosestrife grows in dry forest fringes in societies of the Geranion sanguinei association. The species is extinct in Germany, it used to be found near Wandersleben in Thuringia and near Freyburg, Halle and Halberstadt in Saxony-Anhalt.

In Austria it occurs only in Burgenland ( Eisenberg an der Pinka , Rohrbach near Mattersburg ) and is considered to be threatened with extinction nationwide. There are other deposits in Hungary on the Austrian border near Ágfalva and in Moravia in the White Carpathians . The species has a Pannonian-Pontic area.
