Aquilegia flabellata, common name fan columbine or dwarf columbine, is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to North and East Asia.
Aquilegia flabellata grows to 20–30 cm (8–12 in) in height. [2] It has smooth, divided leaves. It has pale blue, violet-blue or lavender flowers, about 3 cm (1.2 in) in width, with creamy-white petals. [3] [4] Its appearance is very similar to that of Aquilegia sibirica . [5]
The specific epithet flabellata is Latin for "fan-like, fan-shaped". [6]
This species is native to North and East Asia, including Amur, Buryatiya, Zabaykalsky Krai, Khabarovsk, Irkutsk, Primorye, Sakhalin, Sakha, and the Kuril Islands in Russia, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning in China, Mongolia, northern and central Japan, and North Korea. [1] It grows in mountain forests and cliffs. [2]
Aquilegia flabellata blooms from April to July. [3]
The fungi Rhizoctonia solani [7] and Alternaria alternata [8] have been recorded as causing leaf blight and leaf spots on the leaves of Aquilegia flabellata.
This low-growing columbine is suitable for cultivation in an alpine garden or rockery. Numerous cultivars have been selected for garden use. The compact varieties A. flabellata var. pumila and A. flabellata var. pumila f. alba have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [9]

It is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant growing to 1.2 m tall, with branched, thinly hairy stems. The leaves are biternate; each leaf has three groups of three leaflets.

Basidiocarps are thin, effused, and web-like, but the fungus is more typically encountered in its anamorphic state, as hyphae and sclerotia. The name Rhizoctonia solani is currently applied to a complex of related species that await further research. In its wide sense, Rhizoctonia solani is a facultative plant pathogen with a wide host range and worldwide distribution. It causes various plant diseases such as root rot, damping off, and wire stem. It can also form mycorrhizal associations with orchids.
