Laburnum anagyroides (4808' N 1623' E)

Description:

2011-04-25 Vienna X. district (on Liesing river, 179 msm Quadrant 7864/3).German name: Gewhnlich-GoldregenID: Fischer & al., Exkursionsflora (2008 3rd)For ID please also compare remarks here.Habitat shot: Right on Liesing river (which has, on this place, rather the appearance of a 'canal' - further downstream it looks more like a 'true' river, which it is, or was at least even here); the place does not exactly look very groomed (still I can't completely rule out that some 'ninja gardeners' planted them), this is a public area which will be mown by city authorities every once in a while.Its 'bushy' appearance could be an indicator that city gardeners cut this one once or twice already (cut on purpose I mean, to leave this place here as open meadow rather than an overgrown river bank: it seems that city gardeners keep this place free of trees, possibly for safety reasons or whatever) - but that's only guesswork.The place is surrounded by gardens, and it is not at all unlikely that this one, plus the other five or so specimen growing there, are an escapee from culture.Everything considered I would say that this is a garden plant run wild and not a natural occurrence.
