2010.06.11 Vienna XXII. (Lobau Heisslnde - heath, 150 m AMSL).Habitus: the book measures 19.5 centimetres - so you can see that the plant is a good metre high, its panicle is a booklength long. This specimen was more or less typical for this habitat; some were smaller but a few also higher than this one.German name: Schilf-ReitgrasID: Bas Kers & Fischer, Exkursionsflora, see discussion here

2009.08.08: Austria, Vienna XXII. district, 150 m AMSL, heath (Lobau Heisslnde).This place usually is one of the very dry heaths of Lobau (the so-called Heisslnde), however in 2009 it was flooded in june for some weeks.After the flood receded, those grasses began to grow there - I haven't noticed them last year (it is a place I visit frequently), so I think that they're newcomers in this habitat. However, it is not impossible that I'm wrong here, and that I just overlooked them previously.German names: Schilf-Reitgras
