Lobelia Pedunculata
''Lobelia pedunculata'', commonly known as matted pratia, trailing pratia or blue star creeper, is a perennial herb from Australia. It has sky-blue starry flowers, and can spread by underground stolon. In a garden setting some gardeners have found its ability to spread to be a nuisance. Varieties One variety, ''Lobelia pedunculata'' var. Almanda Blue, was found in Scott Creek Conservation Park in 2013 by John Wamsley. It has a dense weeping habit and small, female-only flowers. Wamsley registered it as intellectual property under Australia's plant breeders' rights and as a US patent Under United States law, a patent is a right granted to the inventor of a (1) process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, (2) that is new, useful, and non-obvious. A patent is the right to exclude others, for a limit .... Clones of this plant are sold as garden plants, and royalties go toward preserving biodiversity in the park it was found in.

It is a small herbaceous, scrambling plant with white to pale pink flowers. Description ''Lobelia purpurascens'' is a small, smooth herb usually less than high with ascending or more or less prostrate stems, usually long with white rhizomes. The leaves are arranged alternately, more or less sessile, elliptic to oval shaped, long and wide, margins toothed and the undersurface usually purplish coloured on a petiole up to long. The single flowers are borne in leaf axils on a pedicel long, corolla pale mauve-pink, bluish or white, long, lower petals oblong-rounded, upper petals upright, tapering to a point, curved inward and smaller than upper petals. Flowering occurs from November to May and the fruit long, wide and smooth. Taxonomy and naming ''Lobelia purpurascens'' was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown and ...

Lobelia Angulata
''Lobelia angulata'', previously known as ''Pratia angulata'', and commonly known as pānakenake, or Lawn Lobelia is a small scrambling Herbaceous plant, herbaceous plant native to New Zealand. Species description ''Lobelia angulata'' is a creeping, wide-spreading, herbaceous plant that can grow in mats of up to 1 metre in diameter. It produces roots at the leaf nodes. The Prostrate shrub, prostrate stems are green, with mottling that can be purplish, reddish or greenish in colour. The leaves grow alternately and are either sessile or shortly petiolate on the stems, and have prominent blunt teeth on the edges. The leaves have similar colouration to the stems, being green or with purplish mottling or edges, with the leaves usually being glabrous but occasionally with sparse, short, stiff hairs.

(1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. Macmillan . They are known generally as lobelias.''Lobelia''. USDA PLANTS.

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 (: stamina or stamens) is a part consisting of the male reproductive organs of a flower. Collectively, the stamens fo ...

Campanulaceae
The family Campanulaceae (also bellflower family), of the order Asterales, contains nearly 2400 species in 84 genera of herbaceous plants, shrubs, and rarely small trees, often with milky sap. Among them are several familiar garden plants belonging to the genera '' Campanula'' (bellflower), '' Lobelia'', and '' Platycodon'' (balloonflower). '' Campanula rapunculus'' (rampion or r. bellflower) and '' Codonopsis lanceolata'' are eaten as vegetables. '' Lobelia inflata'' (indian tobacco), '' L. siphilitica'' and '' L. tupa'' (devil's tobacco) and others have been used as medicinal plants. '' Campanula rapunculoides'' (creeping bellflower) may be a troublesome weed, particularly in gardens, while ''Legousia'' spp. may occur in arable fields. Most current classifications include the segregate family Lobeliaceae in Campanulaceae as subfamily Lobelioideae. A third subfamily, Cyphioideae, includes the genus '' Cyphia'', and sometimes also the genera '' Cyphocarpus'', '' Nemacladus'', ...
