Abstract
The genus Lobelia (Campanulaceae), comprises about 200 to 300 species of mostly annuals and herbaceous perennials, ranging from partially submerged aquatic field habitats in North America, Europe, and East Asia to a mountainside in East Africa and China, where some giant tree-type lobelias grow (Everett 1981). The bright colored flowers of North American lobelias such as L. cardinalis (reddish pink) and L. siphilitica (bright blue) are outstandingly beautiful and best adapted for naturalizing at watersides. Many garden varieties of the South African L. erinus are popular as dwarf edging plants and for window and porch boxes, garden vases, and other containers. Some species of L. cardinalis, L. dortmanna, etc. appeal to collectors of aquatic plants to decorate ornamental tanks for tropical fishes.
