RANUNCULACEAE - - Buttercup Family

Aquilegia canadensis Linnaeus — Wild Columbine

Habitat:

Forests, woodlands, rock outcrops, especially (though by no means entirely) on calcareous or mafic substrates. One of our most familiar wildflowers. Disjunct populations in the deep South, on limestone in sw. GA and FL Panhandle, have been described as A. australis or A. canadensis var. australis; they need additional study.
