|discussion=<p><i>Aquilegia flavescens</i> sometimes forms hybrid swarms with <i>A. formosa </i>var.<i> formosa</i>, which grows at lower elevations through much of its range. Intermediate specimens having pinkish red flowers and petal blades 5-6 mm are occasionally found where these species grow together. The name <i>A. flavescens</i> var. miniana has sometimes been mistakenly applied to these intermediates, but the type of var. miniana is a typical, pink-sepaled plant of <i>A. flavescens</i>.</p>
