Description edit
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 edit
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]
