Apalachicola lobelia (Lobelia apalachicolensis) is a tall wetland wildflower native only to Florida and to only 4 Florida counties: Franklin, Leon, Liberty, and Wakulla. First collected in 1954, it was recognized as a new species of lobelia in 2014. In the fall, lovely purple-blue flowers are borne on upright spikes 3-6 feet tall. Each tubular flower has 5 lobes, the upper two erect and the lower three fanned out. The thick fleshy leaves are elliptical to oval with glandular toothed margins and sticky yellow sap. Apalachicola lobelia occurs naturally in wet pine flatwoods, seepage areas, roadside ditches, and near tupelo swamps. It frequently co-occurs with and, unusual for lobelias, hybridizes with glade lobelia (Lobelia glandulosa). Apalachicola lobelia mainly exists on conservation land. Unfortunately, it often grows in roadside ditches subject to mowing.
