BARBAREA. Winter-cresses. [Brassicaceae]

There are four species of Barbarea recorded in Britain - the native Winter-cress (B. vulgaris) and Small-flowered Winter-cress (B. stricta) and the introduced Medium-flowered Winter-cress (B. intermedia), and American Winter-cress (B. verna). Only one dipterous miner, the drosophilid Scaptomyza flava, is recorded on Barbarea in Britain. See BRASSICA. Elsewhere the polyphagous agromyzids Liriomyza bryoniae and Liriomyza strigata and the polyphagous drosophilid Scaptomyza flava are recorded mining Barbarea. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Barbarea in Britain.
