Aquilegia dumeticola is a perennial flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to southeastern Europe. [1]
Aquilegia dumeticola is a perennial herbaceous plant growing to 70 cm (28 in) in height. [2] It forms clusters with erect, glandular-pubescent stems. The leaves are light green, biternate, and have rounded wedge- or fan-shaped leaflets. The plant produces pale violet flowers with narrow, pointed sepals 25 mm (1 in) in length and 12 mm (0.5 in) wide, and petals with a rounded nectar spur. The stamens protrude past the petals. [3]
The species was formally described by the French botanist Alexis Jordan in 1861, from a specimen collected in Corsica by D. Revelière. [3] Jordan had a reputation for differentiating species too finely, [4] and some authorities consider A. dumeticola to be a subspecies of Aquilegia vulgaris . [5]
It belongs to a clade containing most of the European columbine species, which appear to have diverged from their closest relatives in Asia in the early Pleistocene, a little over 2 million years ago. [6]
The specific epithet dumeticola means "inhabiting thickets", from Latin dumetum "thicket" and -cola "inhabiting", referring to the plant's habitat. [7]
Aquilegia dumeticola is native to Italy, Greece, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Montenegro, and possibly also Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Kosovo. It has been introduced to Corsica. [8] In Italy it is native to almost all the mainland apart from the far north, and is not found in Sardinia or Sicily. [9] It grows in scrub and forest habitats. [2]
As of December 2024 [update] , the species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List. [10]
Aquilegia dumeticola flowers from April to June. [2]
