Lobelioideae is a subfamily of the plant family Campanulaceae. It contains 32 genera,[1] totalling about 1200 species. Some of the larger genera are Lobelia, Siphocampylus, Centropogon, Burmeistera and Cyanea.

They are perennials, sometimes annuals, ranging in form from herbs to small trees. Most species are tropical in distribution, but in total this subfamily occurs almost worldwide, being absent only from Arctic regions, central Asia and the Near East.

This subfamily was formerly given family rank as Lobeliaceae, under a somewhat different circumscription.

The leaves are simple and alternate. The plants have milky sap. The flowers are bilaterally symmetric with five lobes and stamens. The corolla tube opens along the upper side with two lobes above and three below, and the stamens join together in the tube.

gollark: ... almost certainly not.

gollark: Just buy a sensible standard x86 device and install GNU++++++Linux on it.

gollark: Yes. Do not fund Apple's steady increasing of the locked-down-ness.

gollark: If you pay for overly locked down devices, you are supporting said devices.

gollark: I mean, yes, for every stupid thing they do on the x86 devices (not ARM ones) you probably *can* get around it, but why bother and support it?
