Discussion

Delphinium parishii subsp. subglobosum occurs only on the eastern side of peninsular ranges.

Delphinium parishii subsp. subglobosum hybridizes with D. parryi subsp. parryi. Likely to be confused only with D. parryi, D. parishii subsp. subglobosum may be differentiated from that species by its lack of arched hairs on stems.
