The Wall Cymbalaria (Cymbalaria muralis, formerly Linaria cymbalaria), is a perennial herbaceous plant, native to southern Europe and western Asia. It is part of the family Scrofulariaceae, according to the classical classification, or Plantaginaceae, according to the phylogenetic classification.
It frequently lines old walls with tufts with rounded, shiny leaves and small purple flowers with yellow-stained throats. It can densely cover the surface it occupies with a thickness of around ten centimeters by layering or re-sowing itself.
Phytonymy
The name Cymbalaria derives from the Latin cymba, "boat, pod", due to the shape of the slightly concave cymbal-shaped leaves (more characteristic, moreover, in the umbilicus than in the cymbalaria). The specific epithet muralis refers to the lining of old walls suitable for hosting this rupicolous species and explains its vernacular names (flowering ivy, wall ivy, ruin of Rome)6.
Herbaceous plant, growing in tufts, with glabrous stems generally purple, filiform, creeping or drooping. Young peduncles and petioles are glandular.
Alternate leaf, long petiolate, glossy and fleshy, with 5 or more lobes, mucronulate apex and lobed base. The underside and the margin of the leaf blade are purple.
Flowering goes from March-April to September (earlier flowering in the Mediterranean region).
The white-pinkish or pink-purplish flowers, whose corolla measures approximately 1 cm in diameter, are zygomorphic, personate, solitary, fixed on a quinquedentate gamosepalous calyx, and carried by a long axillary peduncle. The upper lip is bilobed and marked by two or three dark vertical lines under each lobe; the lower lip, trilobed, has a palate with two white bumps spotted with yellow at their top. The corolla is extended, in its lower part, by a short, pointed nectar-bearing spur.
The plant is entomogamous and autogamous. The flowers are perigynous and have 4 stamens (2 short and 2 longer) surrounding the base of the ovary from which comes a style as long as the threads of the 2 longest stamens, the stigma is therefore in contact with the anthers .
The fruits are glabrous capsules with dehiscent valves releasing, when ripe, grayish-black seeds less than 0.5 millimeters in diameter which have deep asperities favoring adhesion to surfaces. At fruiting, the peduncle tilts towards the support allowing the capsule to release the seeds into the interstices of the substrate, thus ensuring autochory.
Perennial plant native to southern Europe and western Asia, naturalized throughout almost all of Europe. Its common name, ruin of Rome, testifies to its Mediterranean origin. Its expansion in many French regions is linked to its medicinal properties
Lythophyte, thermophilic and calciphilous, it is common in the crevices of stone walls in partial shade or shade and often accompanied by Wall Capillary (Asplenium trichomanes) or Rue des murailles (Asplenium ruta-muralis). "Today it favors cities, where temperatures are milder. It has thus become an invasive weed species, constituting the ordinary vegetation of the alliance of Cymbalario muralis – Asplenion rutae-murariae (class of Parietarietea judaica
