Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani

Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani

The Salt Pond bulrush ( Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani ) is also called Salt Pond ledges or Grey Seebinse and belongs to the family of the Sedge family ( Cyperaceae ). There is a fairly large growing bins like plant of typical gray-green color. At times, it was regarded as a subspecies of the ordinary Teichbinse ( Schoenoplectus lacustris ), which is even bigger and has a fresher green. It can be found on the banks of water bodies and therefore comparatively salt- tolerant.

Features

Salt Pond Rushes are perennial, herbaceous plants, the plant height of 80 to 150 (rarely 250) reach centimeters. They have long, thick, underground creeping rhizomes as Überdauerungsorgan. Your most up to stalk round stem is colored gray to blue- green. The leaf sheaths are located at the base of the shoot and have short, rarely more than ten centimeters long leaf blades on. The spirrige inflorescence appears in June and July, consists of relatively few (up to about 50) spikelets and has a maximum diameter of eight centimeters. He is so small, tight and crisp poorer than in the ordinary Teichbinse. The brown husks have numerous red warts, especially on and around the central vein. Two scars will always trained. Nutlets the lens are shaped, and 2 to 2.5 mm long.

Chromosome number: 2n = (38, 40) 42 (44).

Occurrence

The salt forms Teichbinse own dominance stocks or growing in reed communities standing or flowing waters, such as ditches, streams, ponds (especially lagoons ), ponds and swamps in the source. In estuaries, coastal tidal river colonized brackish and freshwater reedbeds, occurs in trenches and march on polders. Preference is strongly correlated to leaving flooded, nutrient -and base- rich (sometimes calcareous ), muddy sand and clay soils, which can also be salty. These salt tolerance -related centers of distribution in coastal areas, on lower reaches of rivers and in salt meadows inland and in Gipskeuper areas. Outside of missing this plant over long distances, such as in the mountains.

The species is widespread in Europe and parts of Asia, but is also found in North West Africa and in Australia with Tasmania and New Zealand. In central Europe it occurs scattered on until relatively rare, more common in the coastal regions.
