BUTOMUS. Flowering-rush. [Butomaceae]


Only one species of Butomus is recorded in Britain, the native Flowering-rush (B. umbellatus).

No miners are recorded on Butomus in Britain.

Elsewhere the agromyzid Phytoliriomyza ornata bores the stems of Butomus.

A key to the European miners recorded on Butomus is provided in Bladmineerders van Europa.
