ASPERULA. Squinancywort and Woodruffs. [Rubiaceae]

Six species of Asperula are recorded in Britain. These include the native Squinancywort (A. cynanchica) and introduced Woodruffs. Only one dipterous miner, Galiomyza morio, is recorded on Asperula in Britain. See GALIUM. Elsewhere the Rubiaceae-feeding agromyzids Aulagromyza buhri and Ophiomyia galii have been recorded mining Asperula. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Asperula in Britain.
