Larval Food Plants
L. grayi
| L. grayi var. depauperatum (Gray's Buiscuitroot) (dark pink) |
|
Lomatium grayi's aroma is
indistinguishable from celery, much like L.
californicum. Larvae from these populations will switch to other
food plants, but do not switch other Indra populations to L.
grayi var.
depauperatum. They usually die.

| Klickitat Valley, WA, June 11, 2002. Here the
LPF is a robust and different variety of Lomatium grayi that
has not been documented in the botanical literature. It is quite different
than the L. grayi var. grayi and L. g. var.
depauperatum in both growth form, aroma, and geographic range. See the following four
photos, all taken June 11, 2002: |
