Aquilegia glandulosa, the Altai columbine[2] or Siberian columbine,[3] is a perennial species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to northern and central Asia.[1]
Description
Aquilegia glandulosa is a compact species, growing to only 20–40 cm (7.9–15.7 in). Its basal leaves are narrow, blue-green, and biternate. The flowers measure 6–9 cm (2.4–3.5 in) in diameter and have blue sepals and white or blue petals with nectar spurs of 6–12 mm (0.24–0.47 in).[4] The species is very similar to Aquilegia flabellata, the fan columbine, differing in having pubescent pistils and strongly hooked incurved spurs.[3]
Taxonomy
Aquilegia glandulosa appears to be most closely related to Aquilegia sibirica, also known as the Siberian columbine, from which it probably diverged in the mid-Pleistocene.[5]
Etymology
Distribution and habitat
The species is native to north-central Asia, including Russia (Altai, Buryatia, Irkutsk Oblast, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Sakha Republic, Tuva, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and Zabaykalsky Krai), Kazakhstan, Mongolia, India (Jammu and Kashmir), and China (Xinjiang).[1][6] It grows in alpine meadows, and more rarely in forest zones, along stream-banks and on rocks,[7] at altitudes of 1,900–2,700 m (6,200–8,900 ft).[4]
Ecology
Aquilegia glandulosa flowers between June and August.[4]
Conservation
The species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List.[8]
