Lobelia rhombifolia, commonly known as tufted lobelia, is an annual plant from southern Australia . They range from 5 to 30 cm in height and produce purple flowers, with a white throat and two recurved upper lobes.[3][4] The flowers appear at different times across their native range:
- September to December in Western Australia[3]
- October and November in South Australia[4]
- November in Victoria[5]
- October to February in Tasmania[6]
The species was first formally described in 1845 by German botanist Johann Lehmann in Plantae Preissianae.[1]
In Tasmania, the species is classified as "rare" under the Threatened Species Protection Act.[6]
