Consolida is a genus of about 40 species of annual flowering plants in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native from western Europe through the Mediterranean region east to central Asia.
Consolida differs from Delphinium in the flower structure, with the flowers in an open, loose, often branched spike, rather than the dense column of flowers found in Delphinium, and in the fruit, which comprises a single follicle, instead of a cluster of several together.
Also unlike most Delphinium species, all Consolida species are annual.
Delphinium consolida Indeed nothing can be more common, nor more undoubtedly wild, than it is in all the open chalky or sandy fields of Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, &c., flowering in July.
