CONOPODIUM. Pignut. [Apiaceae]

Pignut or Earthnut (C. majus) is the only species of Conopodium recorded in Britain. Only one dipterous miner, the agromyzid Phytomyza chaerophylli, is recorded on Conopodium in Britain and elsewhere and this is also recorded on Chaerophyllum, Daucus, Torilis and possibly Sison in Britain. See CHAEROPHYLLUM. Elsewhere the agromyzid Phytomyza chaerophylli is recorded mining Conopodium. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Conopodium in Britain.
