The common meadow silge ( Silaum silaus ), also known simply as meadow silge or Silau , is an umbelliferous plant that is found scattered in Central Europe . It blooms from June to August. The genus is only represented with this species in Europe.
description
The perennial herbaceous plant reaches a height of about 30 to 100 cm and is a hemicryptophyte . The stem is angular and furrowed, at least in the upper part, and is often tinged with a light purple-brown. The lower leaves are three- to seven-fold pinnate, the tips elongated to linear-lanceolate, about 1 mm wide and pointed. They are very finely sawn. The uppermost leaves are simply pinnate.
The umbels are five to ten pointed. The shell is absent or has one or three leaves. The linear-lanceolate bracts are numerous and have narrow, membranous margins. The stalks of the little bulbs are of different lengths. The petals are pale to greenish-yellow, edged red on the outside and have tipped tips. The fruit is broadly ovate-oblong, up to 5 mm long and approx. 2.5 mm thick.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 22.
Similar species
The meadow silge differs from the caraway-leaved silge ( Selinum carvifolia ), which is similar in its sterile state, among other things in the barely furrowed petiole, which is clearly furrowed in the caraway-leaved silge. The petiole of the similar swamp hairline ( Peucedanum palustre ) is, in contrast to that of the meadow silge, hollow.
Occurrence
General distribution
The meadow silge occurs in temperate and southern Europe as far as Siberia. It is a Eurasian-sub-Mediterranean floral element. In Europe it occurs in Spain, France, Belgium, Luxamburg, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Croatia , Bulgaria and Albania. In Denmark she is a neophyte.
Distribution in Central Europe
Silaum silaus is rare in northern Germany, scattered in the central area and widespread to the south. In Austria it occurs sparsely or rarely and is endangered, in Switzerland it occurs generally sparsely. It occurs in Baden-Württemberg in the Baar at up to 900 meters above sea level.
Location requirements
Silaum silaus grows mainly in base-rich extensive grassland, in wet meadow communities and in borders. It prefers more or less alternately moist to alternately dry, nutrient-rich, mild to moderately acidic, humus-rich, deep loamy or clayey soils. The meadow silge is a character species of the Sanguisorbo-Silaëtum (Association Calthion). But it also occurs in societies of the Molinion, Mesobromion, Arrhenatherion or Carpinion associations.
