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. ===Species=== *''[[Consolida aconiti]]'' *''[[Consolida ajacis]]'' (= ''[[Consolida ambigua]]'') - Larkspur *''[[Consolida anthoroidea]]'' *''[[Consolida armeniaca]]'' *''[[Consolida axilliflora]]'' *''[[Consolida cornuta]]'' *''[[Consolida cruciata]]'' *''[[Consolida glandulosa]]'' *''[[Consolida hellespontica]]'' *''[[Consolida hohenackeri]]'' *''[[Consolida lineolata]]'' *''[[Consolida oliveriana]]'' *''[[Consolida olopetala]]'' *''[[Consolida orientalis]]'' - Eastern Larkspur *''[[Consolida persica]]'' *''[[Consolida phrygia]]'' *''[[Consolida raveyi]]'' *''[[Consolida regalis]]'' - Forking Larkspur *''[[Consolida saccata]]'' *''[[Consolida scleroclada]]'' *''[[Consolida staminosa]]'' *''[[Consolida stapfiana]]'' *''[[Consolida stenocarpa]]'' *''[[Consolida sulphurea]]'' *''[[Consolida thirkeana]]'' *''[[Consolida tomentosa]]'' 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}} ==External links== *[http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?6434,6458 Jepson Manual Treatment] *[http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=CONSO USDA Plants Profile] *[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=107902 Flora of North America] [[Category:Ranunculaceae]] {{Ranunculales-stub}} [[de:Feldrittersporne]] [[es:Consolida]] [[lt:Raguolis]] [[hu:Szarkaláb]] [[nl:Ridderspoor (Consolida)]] [[no:Åkerriddersporer]] [[pt:Consolida]] [[ru:Сокирки]] [[uk:Сокирки]]
