| Ranunculaceae | Aquilegia canadensis | Canada Columbine, Eastern Columbine | Forests, woodlands, rock outcrops, especially (though by no means entirely) on calcareous or mafic substrates. | Nova Scotia, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan south to Panhandle Florida, s. Alabama, ne. Mississippi (Tishomingo County), w. Tennessee, c. Arkansas, and se. Oklahoma; disjunct in Edwards Plateau of Texas. | ![]() (c) Fleming, Gary P. |
| Ranunculaceae | Aquilegia vulgaris | European Columbine, Garden Columbine | Disturbed areas, recently appearing in natural areas (such as grassy balds, in thin soils around rock outcrops). | Native of Europe. Many varieties have been named; there seems little utility in trying to apply these names to the cultivated plants (often cultivars) rarely persistent or weakly naturalized in our area. | ![]() (c) Kuhn, Will - CC-BY |
