Aquilegia magellensis is a perennial species of plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to Italy.[1]
Aquilegia magellensis grows to 20–45 cm high with sky blue to violet-blue petals.[2]
Taxonomy
The species was first named magellensis (after Ferdinand Magellan) in a collection of dried specimens collected by Rupert Huter, Pietro Porta, and Gregorio Rigo in 1877. This did not however meet the standard for valid publication, making Aquilegia magellensis a nomen nudum until formally described by Fabio Conti and Adriano Soldano in 2005.[2]
