COCHLEARIA. Scurveygrasses. [Brassicaceae]

Six species of Cochlearia are recorded in Britain. These include the native English Scurvygrass (C. anglica), Common Scurvygrass (C. officinalis), Danish Scurvygrass (C. danica), Mountain Scurvygrass (C. micacea), Pyrenean Scurvygrass (C. pyrenaica) and Scottish Survygrass (C. officnalis scotica).

Only one dipterous miner, the drosophilid Scaptomyza flava, is recorded on Cochlearia in Britain.

See BRASSICA.

Elsewhere the polyphagous agromyzid Liriomyza strigata and the drosophilid Scaptomyza flava are recorded mining Cochlearia.
