Aquilegia ecalcarata Maxim. in China, Sichuan,
above Sanlian, June 2002 (pictures 1, 4 & 5) According to David Boufford (pers. comm.) : "Munz annotated them in the 1940s as Aquilegia ecalcarata forma semicalcarata Schipczinski. I also looked through other specimens we have of Aquilegia and all the other species in that area have long spurs. Apparently, E. ecalcarata can occasionally have small spurs". |
