Taxonomic history
The species was described in 1932 by the Japanese botanist Genkei Masamune, from a specimen collected on Taiping Mountain in Taiwan. As of 2008[update] the location of the type specimen was unknown and further specimens of the plant were required for study as very little information is available about the species and its status.[2]
Etymology

Distribution and habitat
Aquilegia kozakii is endemic to Taiping Mountain in northeastern Taiwan.[1]
