|discussion=<p>The typical phase of <i>Delphinium parishii </i>subsp.<i> parishii</i> is found on the floor of desert canyons just east of the peninsular ranges. These plants have sky blue flowers and, often, weak stems; blades of proximal leaves are rarely present at anthesis. The phase represented by the type specimen of D. amabile grows in low elevation desert in most of the range of <i>D. parishii </i>subsp.<i> parishii</i> in California, <i>Nevada</i>, Utah, and western Arizona. These plants also have sky blue sepals but stout stems; they often retain blades of proximal leaves at anthesis. The phase named D. amabile subsp. clarianum is found primarily at higher elevations of desert mountains within the range of <i>D. parishii </i>subsp.<i> parishii</i> and is most easily recognized by its darker blue sepals. The type specimen of D. apachense represents a phase that grows under relatively high moisture conditions, grows taller, and retains more proximal leaves at anthesis; its sepals may be sky blue or dark blue.</p><!--
--><p><i>Delphinium parishii </i>subsp.<i> parishii</i> hybridizes with <i>D. andersonii</i>, <i>D. cardinale</i>, <i>D. hansenii </i>subsp.<i> kernense</i>, and <i>D. nudicaule</i> (in gardens). The subspecies is likely to be confused only with <i>D. andersonii</i>. See discussion under that species for distinguishing features and ecological relationships of the two taxa.</p>
