Please ID this Ranunculaceae meber … a herb observed in Yellowstone Park USA

leaves?


I agree with … that leaves are important for identification However I believe the flowers you have uploaded may be Aquilegia nivalis


D. nivalis is endemic to Kashmir and not expected in USA
To me it appears to be the common larkspur Delphinium ajacis


Thanks … Thanks … for the possible ID.
I know you have a grasp on US plants too..
Actually I was reluctant to post the picture as nither is the quality good nor are the details present.
This is just for the Family fortnight and wanted to confirm the family. That’s all
Trying to increase my number…..(Joking)

Location : Leh, India
Altitude: Around  11000 ft.
Date:  19 August 2014
Habit : Cultivated

Floral characters not very clear. Nevertheless, it could be a variety of Delphinium grandiflorum Blue Butterfly.  A guess.

Pl. also check if it helps: /species/m—z/r/ranunculaceae/delphinium


Looks like matching as suggested by … Your opinion please …


I checked up, but was not convinced.

My guess is Consolida ajacis, an ornamental species native to the Mediterranean, very rarely cultivated in Ladakh. Delphinium grandiflorum seem to have larger flowers

Thank you ! Consolida ajacis (L.)

Garden flowers seen in Srinagar during visit in April, 2016.
Cultivated flowers in the Moghul Gardens.
… had suggested Nigella damascena.
But on searching, his pictures of the same on Flowersofindia look different to me.
Could this be Consolida ajacis?
Or something else?

Please show me image on which I had suggested Nigella. This seems a cultivar of Consolida ajacis only.


Same five pictures I had sent you earlier. I had suggested whether it is Nigella Species.
Today, while going through my folders, I found these to look different.
So thought of posting for correction.

Could this be Consolida ambigua?
http://plantinfo.co.za/plant/consolida-ambigua/

Consolida ambigua is a synonym of C. ajacis.


Thanks a lot for the clarification and your prompt answer.


Looks matching

From a flower show !

Any other photographs available ? 


Sorry only one!


Pl. Check /species/m—z/r/ranunculaceae/aquilaria species. 


Aquilegia vulgaris var. nivea (Baumg. ex Baker) Rchb.  ???



Not Aquilegia as it has single spur, single carpel, Consolida ambigua looks likely


Thanks, … You may be right as per images at Consolida ajacis
