Aquilegia coerulea is a herbaceous plant with flowering stems that may be 15–80 centimeters (6–31 in) when fully grown. [3] Its leaves are on stems that are always shorter than the flowering stems, just 9–37 cm (4–15 in) and are compound leaves that usually have three leaflets on three components (), but occasionally may be simpler with just three leaflets or more complex ().

The Mancos columbine grows to 30–60cm in height with white, cream, blue, or pink sepals, 8 to 20 mm in length. The blades are white or cream and 6 to 10 mm long. The spurs are white or colored like the sepals, 15 to 30 mm long, and straight with the tips of the spurs curving inward. The stamens extend beyond the blades. [3]
Aquilegia desertorum is very close to Aquilegia canadensis and may not be truly distinct at species level. Plants from the eastern and southern parts of its range have sometimes been considered a distinct species, Aquilegia triternata, largely based on their longer sepals and petal blades, but in central Arizona the two varieties become hard to distinguish, [5] and A. triternata is therefore ...
Aquilegia alpina, often called the alpine columbine or breath of God, [5] is a perennial species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to the western and central Alps. [4] Though rare in its Swiss, Austrian, and Italian range, it is commonly found in the French Maritime Alps .
The species was first described as a variety cossoniana of the common columbine, Aquilegia vulgaris, by René Maire and Frère Sennen in 1934.It was later reassessed as a subspecies of A. vulgaris by Alain Dobignard and Denis Jordan in 1987, and finally as a species in its own right by Salvador Rivas Martínez in 2011.
Aquilegia fragrans grows to 30–80 cm (12–31 in) in height. The rootstock is slender with the upper part covered by previous years' leaf-stalks. The stems are branched and densely hairy with glands below the flowers. The basal leaves are biternate with long hairy stalks. Its leaflets are wedge- or teardrop-shaped, paler and hairy beneath ...
