Aquilegia bernardii, common name Bernard's columbine, is a perennial species of plant in the family Ranunculaceae,[1] endemic to Corsica.[2] It is likely named after the French plant collector Pierre Frédéric Bernard .[3]
Bernard's columbine grows to 20–40cm tall, with pale blue flowers, relatively large leaf lobes, and short, spindly spurs. It grows in rocky areas between 1000m and 2600m altitude, particularly in crevices that are in shade for part of the day. The flowering period is from July to August.[2]
