}}Lobelia inflata, also known as Indian tobacco or puke weed, is a species of Lobelia native to eastern North America, from southeastern Canada (Nova Scotia to southeast Ontario) south through the eastern United States to Alabama and west to Kansas.[2]

Growth

Lobelia inflata is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant growing to {{convert|15|–|100|cm|in|abbr=on}} tall, with stems covered in tiny hairs. Its leaves are usually about {{convert|8|cm|in|abbr=on}} long, and are ovate and toothed. they are alternately arranged. It has violet flowers that are tinted yellow on the inside, and usually appear in mid-summer and continue to bloom into fall.[3] The seedcases are small, brown, dehiscent, and papery.[4]

Propagation

Propagation is usually accomplished by cuttings or seed. Seeds are sown in containers in mid spring or mid fall. The seeds take about 2 weeks to germinate.

Traditional uses

Lobelia inflata has a long use as a medicinal plant, as an entheogenic, emetic, and a dermatological and respiratory aid.[5] Native Americans used it for respiratory and muscle disorders, as a purgative, and as a ceremonial medicine.[5] The plant was used as a traditional medicinal plant by the Cherokee, Iroquois, Penobscot, and other indigenous peoples. The foliage was burned by the Cherokee as a natural insecticide, to smoke out gnats.[5] It was widely used in the pre-Columbian New England region, long before the time of Samuel Thomson, who was erroneously credited as discovering it.

It is still used medicinally in the present day;[6] however, there are adverse effects that limit its use.[7] Side effects can include sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, rapid heartbeat, mental confusion, convulsions, hypothermia, coma, and possibly death.[8]

Chemical constituents

Lobelia inflata has been shown to contain 52 different alkaloid compounds,[9] the most studied and medically pertinent being lobeline.[10]
