PHYTEUMA. Rampions. [Campanulaceae]

Four species of Phyteuma are recorded in Britain. These include the native Round-headed Rampion (P. orbiculare) and Spiked Rampion (P. spicatum). Spiked Rampion (P. spicatum) is protected under Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981. Two dipterous miners, the agromyzids Ophiomyia heringi and Phytomyza campanulae, are recorded on Phyteuma in Britain. A single key to the dipterous mines on Campanulaceae is provided. See CAMPANULA. Elsewhere Amauromyza gyrans, Liriomyza strigata, Ophiomyia heringi and Phytomyza rapunculi are recorded mining Phyteuma. No non-dipterous miners are recorded on Phyteuma in Britain.
