Giant lobelia

Giant lobelia is a common name for several plants in the genus Lobelia and may refer to:

Lobelia aberdarica
Lobelia bambuseti
Lobelia deckenii
Lobelia giberroa[1]
Lobelia gregoriana (syn. L. deckenii subsp. keniensis, L. keniensis)
Lobelia morogoroensis[2]
Lobelia rhynchopetalum
Lobelia telekii

Giant lobelia and Senecio plants in Mt Kenya.

The giant lobelia span Africa, Hawaii, South America, French Polynesia, and Southeast Asia. Phylogenetic analysis strongly supports that this is a monophyletic group. [3]
