Lobelia (Supplement)

L. Dortmanna (Water Lobelia) and L. urens (Acrid Lobelia) are included in the British Flora. To the species described on pp. 290-1, Vol. II., the following should now be added:

L. sub-nuda (nearly naked). fl. pale blue, about 1/3in. across, borne on rather long pedicels, and arranged in lax, naked racemes. l. all radical, in a reduced rosette (the stem having only a few very reduced ones), stalked, cordate-ovate in outline, the margins pinnatifidly cut, dark green above, beneath purplish, with green veins. Mexico, 1887. A small-flowered but pretty hardy annual, suitable for rockwork. (G. C. ser. iii., vol. ii., p. 204.)
