Aquilegia skinneri, commonly known as the Mexican columbine or Skinner's columbine,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family.[1]
Taxonomy
Aquilegia skinneri was first described in 1842 by William Jackson Hooker in Curtis's Botanical Magazine,[1] based on plants grown from seeds reported to have been collected in Guatemala by George Ure Skinner.[3] The same year Hooker described another species, Aquilega mexicana, although this is now considered to be the same species as Aquilegia skinneri.[4] In 1909, Joseph Nelson Rose described a new species, Aquilegia madrensis, based on samples collected in the Sierra Madre in Mexico, which were described as having similar morphology to Aquilegia skinneri.[5] Aquilegia madrensis is now considered the same species as Aqulegia skinneri.[6] Rose in part considered the samples he collected to belong to a different species because Hooker had reported that Aquilegia skinneri was a Guatemala species. However, it suggested that the labels were mixed up in England , and that Skinner's samples were actually collected in Chihuahua in northern Mexico rather than Guatemala.[7]
Both the specific epithet "skinneri", and the common name "Skinner's columbine", are named after Skinner.[8]
Distribution
Aquilegia skinneri is native to Mexico and Guatemala.[1]
Uses
Aquilegia skinneri is cultivated as a garden ornamental.[2]
