DELPHINIUM. Delphiniums and Violet Larkspur. [Ranunculaceae]

Seven species of Delphinium are recorded in Britain. All are introduced and include Garden Delphinium (D. x cultorum), Alpine Delphinium (D. elatum) and Violet Larkspur (D. peregrinum). Only one dipterous miner, the agromyzid Phytomyza aconiti, is recorded on Delphinium in Britain and this also occurs on Aconitum. See ACONITUM. Elsewhere the agromyzid Phytomyza aconiti is recorded mining Delphinium. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Delphinium in Britain.
