ARMORACIA. Horse-radish. [Brassicaceae]

Two introduced species of Armoracia are recorded in Britain, including Horse-Radish (A. rusticana).

The polyphagous agromyzid Chromatomyia horticola is the only dipterous miner recorded on Armoracia in Britain.

See BRASSICA.

Elsewhere the polyphagous drosophilid Scaptomyza flava is recorded mining Armoracia.

No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Armoracia in Britain.
