'''''Consolida''''' is a [[genus]] of about 40 [[species]] of annual [[flowering plant]]s in the buttercup family [[Ranunculaceae]], native from western [[Europe]] through the [[Mediterranean]] region east to central [[Asia]]. The common name, shared with the closely related genus ''[[Delphinium]]'', is '''[[Larkspur]]'''.
''Consolida'' differs from ''Delphinium'' in the [[flower]] structure, with the flowers in an open, loose, often branched spike, rather than the dense column of flowers found in ''Delphinium'', and in the [[fruit]], which comprises a single follicle, instead of a cluster of several together. Also unlike most ''Delphinium'' species, all ''Consolida'' species are annual.

Western variants of the plant are poisonous to cattle, and cattle ranchers are very careful to avoid grazing their cattle near the plant. A common cowboy adage to that effect is that " if you rode the range all day, and were tired of ridin', eat a fistful of larkspur, and you won't be tired anymore." {{Fact|date=December 2007}}
