DENDRANTHEMA. Chrysanthemums. [Asteraceae]

Two species and one hydrid of Dendranthema are recorded in Britain. All are introduced. No dipterous miners are recorded on Dendranthema in Britain. The agromyzids Liriomyza huidobrensis, Liriomyza sativae and Liriomyza trifolii, polyphagous pest species of ornamental and vegetable crops occasionally intercepted at UK points of entry, are recorded on Dendranthema. Liriomyza huidobrensis and Liriomyza trifolii have been found under glass in England and Wales. All populations have been and continue to be eradicated. Elsewhere the agromyzids Liriomyza huidobrensis, Liriomyza sativae and Liriomyza trifolii are recorded mining Dendranthema. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Dendranthema in Britain.
