Aquilegia hybrida Sims, nisi revera forma hibrida ex A. canadensi 

 et A. vulgari sit, quod dubium est quoad stirpes e seminibus sibiricis in 

 horto dorpatensi natas, A. oxysepalae' foliis, colore florum, forma ala- 

 bastri, sepalorum directione valde affinis videtur, et vix dubitandum 

 quin varietas sit huius subspecei ealcaribus subrectis praedita.
