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, 3–3.5cm in diameter, with incurved spurs of around 1.5cm in length. The plant grows to between 30 and 60cm, occasionally reaching 90cm. [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 name atrovinosa derives from Latin atro "dark" and vinosa "full of wine", probably referring to the colour of the flowers. [4]
Aquilegia atrovinosa is native to primarily temperate regions of Tajikistan, [5] Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and northern Xinjiang. [1] It grows at altitudes of 1800–3600m in forests and in montane river valleys. [2] [5]
