Campanulaceae Week: RVS3: Lobelia nicotianifolia:
Lobelia nicotianifolia from W.Ghats TN.
Is this just a variant of the otherwise usually white-flowered form, or a different taxon?


This looks interesting, some what different colour.

Pl go through this illustration of L. nicotianifolia that shows blue color of the flowers.
http://plantgenera.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=45019&language=46

There is no floral differences between these two forms and I do feel it represents L. nicotianifolia
