Discussion
Of conservation concern.
Delphinium parryi subsp. eastwoodiae is usually very local, although in a few localities it is abundant. It is likely to be confused only with D. variegatum; D. parryi subsp. eastwoodiae does not have long hairs as are present on proximal petioles of D. variegatum.
