Aquilegia pancicii , (Serbian Панчићева кандилка, Pančićeva kandilka), is a species ofthe buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). It is one of the two-tone European columbines with blue flowers and a whitish honey leaf plate. It is only known from Suva Planina in eastern Serbia .

description

Aquilegia pancicii is a perennial herbaceous plant and reaches heights of about 20 to 70 centimeters. It has a richly branched root system and a durable taproot . The upright stem is hairy densely glandular. The leaves are arranged in a loose, basal rosette, with glandular hairs on both sides , triple triple with egg-shaped-lanceolate, undivided or three-columned end sections.

The flowering time is in June. On a long inflorescence stem there is a terminal, racemose inflorescence that contains three to five, occasionally more nodding flowers. The hermaphroditic, radial symmetry , spurred flower has a diameter of 3 to 4 centimeters. The sepals are vivid blue. The five petal-like bracts are vivid blue and 1.5 to 2 inches long. The nectar leaves are up to 2 centimeters long, vivid blue on top, the plate is white. The spur is 1.2 centimeters longer than the plate and has a hooked curve; the plate is 7 mm long. There are numerous stamens that protrude above the honey leaf blade. The staminodes are lanceolate and pointed.

The five to ten glandular hairy follicles become over 2 cm long and contain a multitude of dark, shiny seeds.

A simple distinguishing feature to the other two-colored columbines of the Balkan Peninsula, Aquilegia amaliae , Aquilegia dinarica and Aquilegia blecicii , is the length of the plate of the inner petals. In Aquilegia pancicii this is shorter than 8 mm, in all others it is over 9 mm long. Only with Aquilegia amaliae subsp. ottonis, the stamens protrude above the nectar leaves.

Occurrence

The distribution of Aquilegia pancicii is limited to rocky sites in the limestone massif of the Suva Planina not far from Bela Palanka and Pirot in eastern Serbia.

Taxonomy

The Hungarian botanist Árpád von Degen, who has made a particular contribution to the floristic research of Velebit in Dalmatia, described Aquilegia pancicii in 1905 on the basis of one by Otmar Reiser , then curator at the Natural History Museum of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the holotype is currently located is located. He named the columbine in honor of the Croatian botanist and first president of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Josif Pančić .
