Discussion
Of conservation concern.
Delphinium gypsophilum subsp. parviflorum is more infrequent than D. gypsophilum subsp. gypsophilum.
This subspecies is sometimes confused with Delphinium parishii subsp. pallidum. Plants of D. gypsophilum subsp. parviflorum are usually taller and grow in grasslands and woodlands; D. parishii subsp. pallidum plants are usually shorter and grow in chaparral and shrubland. Hybrids occur with Delphinium parryi.
