AMMI. Bullwort and Toothpick-plant. [Apiaceae]

 .

Two species of Ammi, Bullwort (A. majus) and Toothpick-plant (A. visnaga), are recorded in Britain. Both are introduced.

Only one Diptera miner, the tephritid Euleia heraclei, is recorded on Ammi in Britain.

See ANGELICA.

Elsewhere the polyphagous agromyzid Liriomyza strigata and the tephritid Euleia heraclei are recorded mining Ammi.

No non-Diptera miners are recorded on Ammi in Britain.

A key to the European miners, based on characteristics of the mines, immature stages and where relevant the larval cases, recorded on Ammi is provided in Bladmineerders van Europa. This includes Euleia heraclei and Liriomyza strigata
