Aquilegia glandulosa, the Siberian columbine,^[2] is a perennial species of plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to northern and central Asia.^[1]

Description

A. glandulosa is a compact species, growing to only 30cm, and has blue and white flowers which bloom between April^[2] and August.^[3] Its basal leaves are narrow, blue-green, and biternate. The species is very similar to Aquilegia flabellata, the fan columbine, differing in having pubescent pistils and strongly hooked incurved spurs.^[2]

Distribution and habitat

A. glandulosa 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, and China (Xinjiang).^[1] It grows in alpine meadows, and more rarely in forest zones, along stream-banks and on rocks,^[4] at altitudes of 1900–2700m.^[3]
