Aquilegia barbaricina (also called Barbaricina Colombine) is a species of plant in the Ranunculaceae family. It is endemic to Italy, occurring only on the island of Sardinia.
It is not entirely clear to some taxonomists whether this is a distinct species or a subspecies of some other Sardinian or other Mediterranean island columbine.
Distribution
Aquilegia barbaricina grows in alder scrub along water courses at 1,300–1,400 metres (4,300–4,600 ft) in altitude. Its natural habitats are Mediterranean shrubby vegetation and shrub-dominated wetlands.
- Endangered
It is almost extinct due to habitat loss and unsustainable collecting. It is an IUCN Red List Critically Endangered plant species and IUCN Top 50 Campaign Mediterranean Island Plant.
