Aquilegia vulgaris subsp. nevadensis is a subspecies of the perennial flowering plant Aquilegia vulgaris of the genus Aquilegia (columbines) in the family Ranunculaceae. It is endemic to the Baetic System of mountain ranges – including the Sierra de Almijara, Sierra de Baza, Sierra Nevada and Sierra de Tejeda – in the Andalusia region of southeastern Spain. It favors damp soil at elevations between 1,100 m (3,600 ft) and 2,500 m (8,200 ft). Its conservation status was evaluated as near threatened in 2014.
A. v. nevadensis plants can reach 60 cm (24 in) tall. The subspecies flowers from May to July, producing blue or violet flowers that are between 40 mm (1.6 in) and 50 mm (2.0 in) in diameter. Its nectar spurs are slightly curved and roughly the same length as the petals.
Aquilegia vulgaris subsp. nevadensis is endemic to the Andalusia region of southern Spain. Its range falls within the Baetic System of mountain ranges, including the Sierra de Almijara, Sierra de Baza, Sierra Nevada and Sierra de Tejeda ranges. The natural range of A. v. nevadensis is shared by relatively few members of its genus, potentially contributing to its genetic distinctiveness. A 2014-published paper evaluating the conservation status of Spanish herbs identified A. v. nevadensis as near threatened. The IUCN Red List has not assessed the subspecies's conservation status.
