Aquilegia atrovinosa is a perennial species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae native to Central Asia. [1]
The flowers of this species are a dark purple colour, 3–3.5 cm (1.2–1.4 in) in diameter, with incurved spurs of around 1.5 cm (0.59 in) in length. The plant grows to between 30–60 cm (12–24 in), occasionally reaching 90 cm (35 in). [2]
Aquilegia atrovinosa is most closely related to the so-called Afghan columbine Aquilegia karelinii , within a larger Central Asian clade also including Aquilegia moorcroftiana , Aquilegia nivalis , Aquilegia pubiflora , Aquilegia fragrans , and Aquilegia lactiflora . [3]
The specific epithet atrovinosa derives from the Latin words atro, meaning "dark", and vinosa, meaning "full of wine", probably referring to the colour of the flowers. [4]
