Lobelia

not marked as a favorite taxon Lobelia floridana Chapman. Common name: Florida Lobelia. Habitat: Wet pine savannas and flatwoods, depression ponds. Distribution: S. Georgia (Jones & Coile 1988) and Panhandle Florida west to Louisiana; disjunct in se. North Carolina (historically). McVaugh (1936) reports this species for Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina, based on a collection by MacFarlane in 1909 (PENN). The specimen is correctly identified and there is a written account of MacFarlane visiting the site on the label in 1909, so the record is plausible.
