Aquilegia dinarica, the Dinaric columbine, is a perennial species of plant in the family Ranunculaceae, endemic to the Dinaric Alps of northern Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Montenegro.[1]
Description[edit]
The Dinaric columbine grows to 20cm, with blue sepals and white petals sometimes flushed with blue or violet. The basal leaves are ternate, and the leaflets trifid, grey and hairy.[2]
Habitat[edit]
It grows primarily in calcareous rocks and scree[2] at altitudes between 1200m and 2100m, and sometimes in snow valleys and snow pits at the edge of coniferous woodland.[3] It is adapted to open habitats, which separates the species ecologically from the sympatric A. grata.[4]
