North American species of columbine
Aquilegia barnebyi ,
commonly known as the oil shale columbine or Barneby's columbine ,
[2]
[1] is a
perennial species of
flowering plant in the
buttercup family , with a
native range comprising northeastern
Utah and northwestern
Colorado in the
United States .
[3]
[4]
[5] It is named after
Rupert Charles Barneby ,
[6] who, with Harry Dwight Dillon Ripley, first discovered it in Colorado.
[7]
[8]
Description
Plants grow 30–80 cm (12–31 in) tall,
[3] with a spread of up to 30 in (76 cm).
[9]
Leaves are compound, as with other species of Aquilegia , and are 5–30 cm (2.0–11.8 in) in diameter. Its nodding
flowers have pink
sepals , while the
petals are yellow with reddish-pink
spurs .

Habitat and distribution
Aquilegia barnebyi is
endemic to the
Uinta Basin (
Duchesne and
Uintah counties)
[2] in Utah,
[11] and to
Garfield ,
Gunnison ,
Montrose ,
Pitkin , and
Rio Blanco counties in Colorado.
[2] It grows on moist,
[3] exposed
oil shale in
cliffs and rocky slopes,
[12]
[10] and in
pinyon-juniper woodlands .
[13] In the 1980s it was thought to be
rare in Utah,
[14] and was considered for protection under the
Endangered Species Act ; as of 2021, it thought to be sufficiently widespread and
abundant as not to be at risk of
extinction .
[15]
Phylogeny
Analysis of
chloroplast DNA showed A. barnebyi is closely related to
A. coerulea ,
[16] a species of Aquilegia
native to southern
Wyoming , Colorado, and northern
New Mexico .
[17]
Cultivation
Aquilegia barnebyi grows in full sun to part shade,
[5] and is suitable for
rock gardens .
[9] It is
drought tolerant , but is not tolerant of salty conditions.
[12] Aquilegia 'Firelight' is a
cultivar that has been
selected for shorter stems and ombre yellow–pink flowers.
