Aquilegia buergeriana var. oxysepara is
a perennial herb that inhabits grasslands or forest edges in
mountainous regions, with the stem growing to 40-100cm in height.
Radical leaves emerge in a bundle at the bases of the plants, of a
biternate compound leaf, and on-stem leaves are ternate; leaflets
are fan-shaped, tips cleft in two to three, and those segments cut
shallowly into two or three anew. The stem tops create 3-3.5cm
across flowers facing downward; sepals, 5 in number, are
purple-brown or light yellow, and petals, yellow, are five,
1.2-2.5cm long; their bases become long to grow into spurs. The
spurs are erect and bend inside significantly. Bloom time:
June-August. |
