	Lobelia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lobelia, also known as Indian Tobacco, is a genus in the family Campanulaceae, comprising some 200 species, some of which are cultivated in gardens.
		Lobelia erinus is an annual flowering plant often grown in window boxes and hanging baskets.
		Lobelia is probably the base form from which many lobelioids are derived; it is therefore highly paraphyletic and not a good genus.

	Lobelia
		An active ingredient in the lobelia plant, lobeline, is similar to nicotine in its effect on the body.
		Lobelia can be safely used in very small doses (particularly homeopathic doses), but moderate to large doses can cause serious adverse effects ranging from dry mouth and nausea to convulsions and even coma (see Precautions).
		Lobelia is an attractive annual or sometimes biennial (replanted every year or two) herb that grows to a height of three feet.

	Royal Horticultural Society - Gardens
		Lobelia species are found world-wide in tropical and temperate areas but especially in North, Central and South America where their habitats range from marshes, wet meadows and riverbanks to woodlands, hilly and mountainous slopes and desert.
		Lobelias are valued for their often brightly coloured flowers which are unusually twisted through 180° and the style will push through the anther tube thus forcing out the pollen and ensuring that when the stigmas separate the receptive surface will be pollen free and so ensure cross pollination.
		Lobelia tupa is grown for its beautifully felted leaves and narrow tubular brick-red to orange flowers which are borne from mid or late summer in racemes up to 45cm long. It is naturally robust, upright, clump-forming perennial with attractive red-purple stems and lance-shaped, downy, grey-green leaves.
