The flat-leaved red fescue ( Festuca heteromalla ), also known as the multi-flowered fescue or spreading red fescue , is a sweet grass (Poaceae) and belongs to the red fescue group ( Festuca rubra agg.).
description
The flat-leaved red fescue is a perennial hemicryptophyte . It reaches heights of stature between 50 and 100 centimeters and forms over 5 millimeters long, mostly creeping runners and therefore appears turf-shaped. The bristly leaf blades are 1 to 1.4 millimeters in diameter. The stem leaves and often the leaves of the renewal shoots are flat with seven to eleven, sometimes up to 13 vascular bundles . The spikelets are seven to ten flowered.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 42 or 56.
Occurrence
The flat-leaved red fescue grows in damp and wet meadows ( Molinio-Arrhenatheretea Tx. 1937 em. Tx. 1970) as well as in subalpine storage areas (Rumicion alpini Rübel ex Klika in Klika et Hadac 1944).
