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 into two to three segments, and those
segments are cut shallowly into two or three anew. The stem tops
produce flowers that are 3-3.5cm across, facing downward. The
sepals, which are 5 in number, are purple-brown or light yellow, and
the yellow petals are five in number, measuring 1.2-2.5cm long.
Their bases elongate to form spurs. The spurs are erect and bend
inside significantly. Bloom time: June-August. |
