FILIPENDULA. Meadowsweets. [Rosaceae]

Five species of Filipendula are recorded in Britain. These include the native Meadowsweet (F. ulmaria) and Dropwort (F. vulgaris).

Three dipterous miners, the agromyzids Agromyza filipendulae, Agromyza idaeina and Agromyza sulfuriceps, are recorded on Filipendula in Britain. A single key to the dipterous miners of Rosaceae is provided.

See AGRIMONIA.

Six non-dipterous miners are recorded on Filipendula in Britain.
