"Lobelias" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Lobelias are types of flowering plants that belong to the family Campanulaceae. They are perennials or annuals that produce small, bell-shaped flowers in shades of blue, pink, white, and purple. Lobelias are often grown in gardens for their ornamental value, and they are also used in traditional medicine in some cultures. The name "lobelia" is derived from the 17th-century Flemish botanist Matthias de L'Obel.
