|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium ajacis | Rocket Larkspur, Garden Larkspur | Roadsides, fields, waste places, disturbed ground. | Native of Europe. |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium alabamicum | Alabama Larkspur | Limestone prairies and glades. | Endemic to c. and n. AL and (allegedly) nw. GA (but see Delphinium species 1). |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium carolinianum ssp. calciphilum | Glade Larkspur, Limestone Larkspur, Tennessee Larkspur | Limestone glades and barrens. | KY south through e. and c. TN to ne. AL and nw. GA. |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium carolinianum ssp. carolinianum | Ozark Larkspur, Prairie Larkspur, Carolina Larkspur, Blue Larkspur | Rocky woodlands, granite outcrops, Altamaha Grit outcrops, blackland prairies, calcareous glades, moist sandy woodlands associated with longleaf pine. | IL west to e. KS, south to LA and TX, with disjunct occurrences eastward in SC, GA, AL, Panhandle FL (Gadsden County), and MS; questionably reported for c. TN. The flowers are a pale to medium blue. This species has been reported for NC (by C) and ‘north to Va.’ (by F and S). I know of no documentation for its past or present occurrence in NC or VA, but its presence in those states is plausible. |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium carolinianum ssp. vimineum | Pineywoods Larkspur, Texas Larkspur | Grasslands, coastal prairies, longleaf pine sandhills. | Sw. AR south to MS , e. and w. LA, s. TX, and Mexico (CHH, COA, and TAM). |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium carolinianum ssp. virescens | Plains Larkspur, Prairie Larkspur | Prairies, glades, ledges. | MB, MN, WI, w. IL, e. MO, sw. AR and e. TX, westwards to ND, SD, NE, CO, and AZ. | |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium consolida | Royal Larkspur, Forking Larkspur, Larkheel | Disturbed areas. | Native of Europe. Also known from DC and to be expected in VA. |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium exaltatum | Tall Larkspur | Dry to moist soils over calcareous (such as dolostone, especially Elbrook Formation) or mafic rocks (such as amphibolite, metagabbro, greenstone, and diabase), usually in the open (as grassy balds) or on forest edges in partial sun. | Sw. PA and OH southwest to MO and e. TN, and south to the Mountains of VA and the Mountains and Piedmont of NC. |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium newtonianum | Newton's Larkspur, Ozark Larkspur, Moore's Delphinium | Forested slopes. | Endemic to the Interior Highlands of AR. | |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium orientale | Oriental Larkspur | Disturbed areas, perhaps only a waif after cultivation. | Native of s. Europe, n. Africa, and w. Asia. |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium pubescens | Hairy Larkspur | Disturbed areas, perhaps only a waif after cultivation. | Native of sw. Europe and nw. Africa. Naturalized in s. TN (Warnock in FNA 1997). |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium species 1 | Shale. | So far as is known, endemic to Chatooga County, GA. | ||
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium tenuissimum | Roadsides, railroads. | Native of Mediterranean Europe. | ||
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium treleasei | Trelease's Larkspur | Limestone and dolomite glades, especially on Cotter Formation dolomite. | Endemic to sw. MO and nw. AR (Ozark Plateau). |  |
| Ranunculaceae | Delphinium tricorne | Dwarf Larkspur | Rich, moist forests, especially over mafic or calcareous rocks, less commonly (as along the Roanoke River in ne. NC) on very fertile alluvial deposits, moist prairies. | Sw. PA and MN south to NC, nw. GA, AL, and OK. |  |
