the base, 4-5 cm. long: follicles without the styles, about 3 cm. 
long and 5 mm. wide, strongly reticulate and pubescent, strongly 
curved above. 
This species is nearest related to A. chrysantha with which it 
has been confused, but differs in the smaller flowers, blunter 
sepals, smaller and bluer segments of the leaves and the more 
curved follicles. It grows at an altitude of 1500-3000 m.

“ Aquilegia Eastwoodiae 
Aquilegia ecalcarata Eastwood, Zoe, 2: 226. 1891. Not 
Hortul.; Steudel. 1841. 
This has been regarded as a spurless form of A. micrantha 
Eastw., but the form of the terminal segments of the leaves is dif- 
ferent from any American species, being rhombic in outline and 
acute. 
* Aquilegia oreophila 
Aqutlegia coerulea alpina A. Nelson, First Rep. Fl. Wyo. 7 g. 
1896. Not A. alpina L. 1853; Aguilegia coerulea var. flavescens 
Jones, Cont. West. Bot. 8: 2.1898. Not A. favescens Wats. 1871. 
This is evidently what Jones regards as A. flavescens Wats, 
but is not Watson’s species, for he describes the spur as being 
curved. Specimens of both numbers cited by Watson, viz. 35 and 
36, are in the Columbia University herbarium and these as well as 
the plant cultivated under the name A. flavescens at Harvard have 
curved spurs and can not be referred asa variety to A. coerulea. 
Therefore, I can not see why Mr. Jones’ A. depauperata should 
not pass into synonomy, being the same as the true A. flavesce”™: 
The flowers of A. orcophila resemble most those of A. pubescens 
Coville, but the habit is different and nearer A. coerulea.
