826 Consolida regalis S. F. Gray

Syn.: Delphinium consolida L.

This Eurasiatic species is, in Fl. Eur. 1/1964, p. 217, recorded as subsp. regalis. Being calciphilous and avoiding higher altitudes this plant has an irregular distribution within the hatched area. It is considered to be adventive in N. Europe, occurring more occasionally northwards. It does not seem to be introduced in N. America, where instead C. ambigua (L.) P. W. Ball & Heyw. (syn.: Delphinium ajacis L.) occurs as introduced from the Mediterranean region. Cf. also Meusel et al. 1965, map p. 157.
