Klokkelyng

in #norway6 years ago (edited)

Klokkelyng (Erica Tetralix) høyrer til lyngfamilien. Han veks langs kysten frå Austfold og til Nordland fylke.
Ein kan ôg nemna at denne lyngarten finst så langt sør som til Portugal.
I floraen står det at den blømer frå juli til august, men i år er den tidlegare enn vanleg. I år har eg sett bløming i første halvdel av juni.
Dei nikkande blomane kan sjå ut som både klokker og posar, og difor vert denne også kalla poselyng. Elles har klokkelyng i tidlegare tider vore nytta til å laga gryteskrubbar av. Ja, eg har ôg høyrt at folk kunne laga seg sopelimar av denne lyngen. Då måtte dei binda saman mange slike rette fine kvistar som var høveleg lange. På grunn av denne bruken kunne lokale Sunnhordlandsnamn på klokkelyng vera skrapalyng eller skrabbalyng. Artsnamnet er tetralix. Mange kjenner sikkert til at tetra betyr fire og kjem frå gresk.
Dersom du studerer stengelen med blad på nøye, vil du kunna finna ut at blada på klokkelyngen sit i lag fire og fire oppetter stilken.
I denne biletserien om klokkelyng har eg lurt inn eit bilete av ein annan lyngart. Er det nokon som finn denne andre lyngarte kan ein nemna det i kommentarfeltet. Eg kjem til å røpa kva denne lyngarten heiter i ein seinare post og forklara kva ein bør sjå etter for å skilja desse artane.

Cross-leaved heath (Erica Tetralix) belongs to the heather family. It grows along the coast from the county Austfold and to the province of Nordland.
This heather grows as far south as to Portugal.
In flower books, it says that the flowering from July to August, but this year it is earlier than usual. I saw flowering in the first half of June.
The nodding blossoms can look like both clocks and bags, and therefore, in Norway, we have names reflecting this. Cross-leaved heath has in the past times used for cooking sauce scrubs. Yes, I have heard that people could make broomsticks of this heather. Then they had to tie up many such fine twigs that were suitably long. Due to this use, local Sunnhordland name on the cross-leaved heath was scratched heather. The name of the art is tetralix. Many probably know that tetra means four and is from Greek.
If you are studying stalk with leaf carefully, you will be able to find out that the Cross-leaved heath is in layers four and four above the stem.
In this series of cross-leaved heaths, I have taken a picture of another heather species. Is there anybody who finds this other heather art can one student say that in the comments box. I'm going to show you this heather's name in a later post and explain what one should look for to distinguish these species.

It's beautiful!
I'm just fascinated by your photos.
We have Erica Tetralix does not grow at all, unfortunately.
Maybe it's Erica carnea 'Nathalie'?
or Erica cinerea 'Pentreath'?

or such

Erica rose is one of the dwarf species. Its height rarely exceeds 20 cm the flowers appear in April )

Thanks for nice words about my photos @Singa
And you are the first to identify the other heather species.
You have the right name (Erica cinerea)
