Comments are encouraged and appreciated. We are amateur botanist, and we do make mistakes sometimes with our identifications. We strive to make this a good identifying resource. All comments are moderated by me and may take several days to appear. This is due to the high number of inappropriate comments that have nothing to do with this subject.

Gattinger's Lobelia (Lobelia appendiculata)


Gattinger's Lobelia (Lobelia appendiculata) is named for the early Tennessee physician and botanist, Dr. Augustin Gattinger (1825-1903), who came to Tennessee during the Civil War. He played an important role in identifying cedar glades as botanically important areas. This picture was taken at Cedars of Lebanon State Park.
