Discussion

Of conservation concern.

Delphinium variegatum subsp. kinkiense has an extremely restricted distribution, is very poorly known, and is imperiled by grazing. Delphinium parryi and D. variegatum subsp. thornei are the only other taxa of Delphinium naturally found on San Clemente Island.

Selected References

None.

Lower Taxa
