Lobelia cardinalis
''Lobelia cardinalis'' (syn. ''L. fulgens'', cardinal flower) is a species of ''Lobelia'' native to the Americas, from southeastern Canada south through the eastern and southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America to northern Colombia.〔Germplasm Resources Information Network: (''Lobelia cardinalis'' )〕
==Description==
It is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows up to tall and is found in wet places, streambanks, and swamps. The leaves are up to long and broad, lanceolate to oval, with a toothed margin. The flowers are usually vibrant red, deeply five-lobed, up to 4 cm across; they are produced in an erect raceme up to tall during the summer to fall. Forms with white (f. ''alba'') and pink (f. ''rosea'') flowers are also known.〔Missouriplants: (''Lobelia cardinalis'' )〕
''Lobelia cardinalis'' is related to two other ''Lobelia'' species in to the Eastern United States, ''Lobelia inflata'' (Indian tobacco) and ''Lobelia siphilitica'' (great lobelia); all display the characteristic "lip" petal near the opening of the flower and the "milky" liquid the plant excretes. ''L. siphilitica'' has blue flowers and is primarily pollinated by bees, whereas ''L. cardinalis'' is red and is primarily pollinated by the ruby-throated hummingbird (''Archilochus colubris'').
