In Vicia and Lobelia the hairs frequently form a tuft below the stigma.
Some of us planted blue lobelia for the sky.
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia Cardinalis) - The true plant is one of the rarest and one of the prettiest of the genus.
This Lobelia suffers from a kind of rust, which fastens on the main fleshy roots when the plants are at rest, and rots them.
Pratia - P. angulata is a pretty plant for the rock garden, creeping over the soil like the Fruiting Duckweed; the flowers white, and like a dwarf Lobelia, numerous in autumn, giving place to violet-colored berries about the size of Peas.
