Ranunculaceae
A member of the buttercup family, Delphinium hansenii (E. Greene) E. Greene ssp. kernense (Davidson) Ewan is a subspecies of Delphinium (commonly called larkspurs), that is restricted to the southern portions of the Sierra Nevada mountains. This subspecies is found in oak woodlands and chaparral towards the western edge of the Mojave desert, though not getting into the desert proper. Often, the best place to locate these plants are seeps and damp areas near the base of rock outcrops.
The flowers of these plants are quite showy, and range from deep blue to pale lavender.
