The lower the altitude at which it grows, the more the red 

 appears. Aqiiilegia tnincala 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 A. ccBruIea. 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 A. 

 cceridea may have yellow flowers. These observations render 

 the value of color uncertain in Aquilegia.
