The lower the altitude at which it grows, the more the red 
appears. <Aguilegia truncata with yellow centre and red spurs 
is abundant at lower elevations, and the higher the altitude the 
more yellow and the less red seems to be the rule, so that when 
following up a mountain brook a point was reached where it 
was difficult to distinguish the two species. This same alpine 
yellow columbine has been collected on other peaks near Mt. 
Whitney by Mr. Pixotto with the color on the spurs distinctly 
Shading into blue. The scarlet flowered Eastern A. Canadensis 
has a yellow centre and is said in Gray’s Manual to be rarely 
yellow all over, and a plant was found in Connecticut last year 
with entirely yellow flowers. A yellow-flowered Aquilegia 
grows near Manitou, Colorado, and specimens sent to Dr. Wat- 
son were named 4. cerulea. These yellow-flowered specimens 
are noticed by Messrs. Meehan and Jones in Bot. Gazette iv, 248, 
and vi, 247, and the conclusion reached seemed to be that 4. 
cerulea may have yellow flowers. These observations render 
_ the value of color uncertain in Aquilegia.
