Species list
There are three species in Staphisagria:[2]
- Staphisagria macrosperma Spach = Delphinium staphisagria L.
- Staphisagria requienii (DC.) Spach = Delphinium requienii DC.
- Staphisagria picta (Willd.) Jabbour = Delphinium pictum Willd.
Or two, as some botanists think S. requienii and S. picta should be united as one species, with S. picta treated as S. requienii subsp. picta.[4]
