Aquilegia ottonis is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family.[2] It has a broad distribution in Europe;[3] it is native to Greece,[4] Italy,[5] and Albania.[6] Plants produce blue-purple flowers which, based on pollination syndromes, are thought to be pollinated by bumblebees.[7] A. ottonis is named after King Otto of Greece;[8] the specific epithet 'ottonis' is the third declension of 'otto'.[9]

Taxonomy
editA. ottonis comprises three[i] subspecies:
- A. ottonis subsp. amaliae (Heldr. ex Boiss.) Strid[1] (syn. A. amaliae Heldr. ex Boiss.; A. ottonis var. amaliae (Heldr.) Rapaics; A. vulgaris var. amaliae (Heldr.) Brühl),[13] which grows on rocky outcrops,[8] and produces flowers with white petals and blue sepals.[14] It was originally named after Queen Amalia of Greece.[8]
- A. ottonis subsp. ottonis Boiss.[ii] (syn. A. ottonis subsp. australis Quézel & Contandr.;[17] A. ottonis subsp. meridionalis Quézel & Contandr.;[18] A. ottonis subsp. ottonis var. unguisepala Borbás),[19] which can be found in the vicinity of Mounts Chelmos, Giona, and Parnassus.[6][20] Under IUCN criteria,[20] it is considered vulnerable to extinction in Greece.[21]
- A. ottonis subsp. taygetea (Orph.) Strid[1] (syn. A. amaliae var. taygetea (Orph.) Hayek; A. taygetea Orph.),[22] which is endemic to Mount Taygetos in Greece.[6] It is considered vulnerable to extinction,[23] and is protected under the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats.[24][25]
Notes
edit- ^ In 2009, Aquilegia vulgaris var. speluncarum Lacaita was reclassified as A. ottonis subsp. speluncarum (Lacaita) Del Guacchio.[10] Both these names are now considered to be synonyms of Aquilegia champagnatii Moraldo, Nardi & la Valva.[11][12]
- ^ Some sources do not fully accept A. ottonis subsp. ottonis,[15] and others consider it to be a synonym of A. ottonis rather than a subspecies thereof.[16]
