Roots less than 10 cm. Stems 15-40 cm. Leaves mostly on proximal 1/3 of stem; basal leaves usually present at anthesis; blade with ultimate lobes 5-15, width less than 7 mm. Inflorescences: bracteoles 7-10 mm. Flowers: sepals usually reflexed, lateral sepals 11-20 mm, spurs 11-17 mm; lower petal blades 6-9 mm.


Phenology: Flowering spring.
Habitat: Serpentine endemic in grasslands surrounded by coastal chaparral
Elevation: 50-500 m

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.
