Lobelia Erinus
''Lobelia erinus'' (edging lobelia, garden lobelia or trailing lobelia) is a species of flowering plant in the bellflower family Campanulaceae, native to southern Africa.

Hawaiian Lobelioids
The Hawaiian lobelioids are a group of flowering plants in the bellflower family, Campanulaceae, subfamily Lobelioideae, all of which are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. This is the largest plant radiation in the Hawaiian Islands, and indeed the largest on any island archipelago, with over 125 species. The six genera involved can be broadly separated based on growth habit: ''Clermontia'' are typically branched shrubs or small trees, up to tall, with fleshy fruits; ''Cyanea'' and ''Delissea'' are typically unbranched or branching only at the base, with a cluster of relatively broad leaves at the apex and fleshy fruits; ''Lobelia'' and ''Trematolobelia'' have long thin leaves down a single, non-woody stem and capsular fruits with wind-dispersed seeds; and the peculiar ''Brighamia'' have a short, thick stem with a dense cluster of broad leaves, elongate white flowers, and capsular fruits. The relationships among the genera and sections remains unsettled . Many species have beauti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lobelia Siphilitica
''Lobelia siphilitica'', the great blue lobelia, great lobelia, or blue cardinal flower, is a plant species within the family Campanulaceae. It is an herbaceous perennial dicot native to eastern and central Canada and United States. There are two recognized varieties of Lobelia siphilitica, Var. ''siphilitica and Var. ludoviciana.'' Blooming from August to October, it is short-lived, lasting only for a few years. Although self-compatible, a flower is unable to offer pollen to itself and it must be pollinated by insects, primarily bumblebees. Bees use the lower three fused petals as a landing pad. A bee of correct weight will depress these petals on its way to the flower's nectar, this lowers the stigma wiping it against the bee's back. Description Morphology Growing up to four feet tall, Great lobelia has a single ridged, unbranched stem, which is smooth or sparsely hairy. Leaves are hairless or scarcely hairy, that vary in shape from elliptical to lance-like, slightly n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pratia
''Pratia'' is a formerly recognized genus of flowering plants in the family Campanulaceae, native to Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Along with other genera, such as ''Hypsela'' and ''Isotoma'', it is now included in ''Lobelia''. Former species include: *''Pratia angulata'' (G.Forst.) Hook.f., now '' Lobelia angulata'', native to New Zealand *''Pratia concolor'' (R.Br.) Druce, now ''Lobelia concolor'' (poison pratia), native to Australia - New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria *''Pratia pedunculata'' (R.Br.) Benth., now ''Lobelia pedunculata'', native to Australia - New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria *''Pratia purpurascens'' (R.Br.) E.Wimm., now ''Lobelia purpurascens ''Lobelia purpurascens'', commonly known as white root or purplish pratia, is a flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae of eastern Australia.

Lobelioideae
Lobelioideae is a subfamily of the plant family Campanulaceae. It contains 32 genera, totalling about 1200 species. Some of the larger genera are '' Lobelia'', '' Siphocampylus'', ''Centropogon'', '' Burmeistera'' and '' Cyanea''. They are perennials, sometimes annuals, ranging in form from herbs to small trees. Most species are tropical in distribution, but in total this subfamily occurs almost worldwide, being absent only from Arctic regions, central Asia and the Near East. The subfamily is particularly diverse in Hawaii, where well over 100 species of Hawaiian lobelioids have radiated from a single introduction. This subfamily was formerly given family rank as Lobeliaceae, under a somewhat different circumscription. The leaves are simple and alternate. The plants have milky sap. The flowers are bilaterally symmetric with five lobes and stamen The stamen (plural ''stamina'' or ''stamens'') is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Collectively the stam ...

Matthias De Lobel
Mathias de l'Obel, Mathias de Lobel or Matthaeus Lobelius (1538 – 3 March 1616) was a Flemish physician and plant enthusiast who was born in Lille, Flanders, in what is now Hauts-de-France, France, and died at Highgate, London, England. He studied at the University of Montpellier and practiced medicine in the low countries and England, including positions as personal physicians to two monarchs. A member of the sixteenth-century Flemish School of Botany, he wrote a series of major treatises on plants in both Latin and Dutch. He was the first botanist to appreciate the distinction between monocotyledons and dicotyledons. The ''Lobelia'' plant is named after him. Life Mathias de l'Obel was born in Lille (Flemish ''Rijsel'') in the County of Flanders, Spanish Netherlands, now French Flanders in 1538, the son of Jean De l'Obel, a lawyer whose practice specialized in aristocrats in the army. Relatively little is known about his life. By the age of sixteen he had already devel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Isotoma (plant)
''Isotoma'' is a genus of annual and perennial herbs in the family Campanulaceae and are native to Australia and New Zealand. Description Plants in the genus ''Isotoma'' have milky sap, a distinct taproot and sometimes adventitious roots along the branches. The leaves are arranged alternately and are usually toothed or lobed. The flowers are solitary in leaf axils or arranged in groups on the ends of branchlets. The sepals form a short tube with lobes. The petal tube is slightly zygomorphic with five lobes spreading horizontally, the upper two smaller and the lower three often with distinct markings. The stamens are fused to the petal tube. The fruit is an urn-shaped or conical capsule containing a large number of minute seeds. Taxonomy and naming In 1810, in his book ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen'', Robert Brown described ''Lobelia hypocrateriformis'' and placed it in section ''Isotoma''. Then in 1826, based on Brown's description, John Lindley ra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Setaceous Hebrew Character
The setaceous Hebrew character (''Xestia c-nigrum'') is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. It is found in the Palearctic realm. It is a common species throughout Europe and North Asia and Central Asia, South Asia, China, Japan and Korea. It is also found in North America, from coast to coast across Canada and the northern United States to western Alaska. It occurs in the Rocky Mountains from Montana to southern Arizona and New Mexico. In the east, it ranges from Maine to North Carolina. It has recently been recorded in Tennessee. The forewings of this species are reddish brown with distinctive patterning towards the base; a black mark resembling the Hebrew letter ''nun'' () with a pale cream-coloured area adjacent to this mark. The hindwings are cream coloured. Description The wingspan is 35–45 mm. Forewing purplish grey or purplish fuscous with a leaden gloss; costal area at ...

Bedding (horticulture)
In horticulture, bedding is temporary planting of fast-growing plants into flower beds to create colourful displays, during spring, summer or winter. Plants used for bedding are generally annuals, biennials or tender perennials; succulents are gaining in popularity. Some bedding plants are also referred to as "patio plants" because they are widely used in pots and other containers positioned on patios, terraces, decking and other areas around houses. Larger tender "conservatory plants" may also be moved out from greenhouses or conservatories and planted out in borders (or stood in their pots in sheltered positions) for the warmer months, then returned to shelter for the winter. The modern bedding plant industry breeds and produces plants with a neat, dwarf habit, which flower uniformly and reliably. They are bred primarily for use in large-scale bedding schemes where uniformity and predictability is of paramount importance, but this is often achieved by losing the plants' indivi ...
