Aquilegia longissima, Gray. Fig. 295. Tall, somewhat pubescent with silky hairs, or smoothish: root-lvs. biternate, even in the petioles; Ifts. deeply lobed and cut, green above, glaucous beneath; st.-lvs. similar, petioled: fls. pale yellow, sepals lanceolate, broadly spreading. 1 in. or more, the spatulate petals a little shorter, about equaling the head of stamens; spur with a narrow orifice, 4 in. long or more, always hanging. Distinguished from A. chrysantha by its longer spur with contracted orifice, by the narrow petals, and by the late season of flowering. Late July to Oct. 1. Ravines S. W. Texas into Mex. G.F. 1:31 (adapted in Fig. 295).—-The seed must be obtained from wild plants, as those cult, usually fail to produce, seed; hence not much used.
