'''Lobelioideae''' is a [[subfamily]] of the plant family [[Campanulaceae]]. It contains 29 genera, totalling about 1200 species. Some of the larger genera are ''[[Lobelia]]'', ''[[Siphocalymus]]'', ''[[Centropogon]]'', ''[[Burmeistera]]'' and ''[[Cyanea]]''.
The '''Lobeliaceae''' or '''Lobelia family''' comprises about 375 species of [[herb]]s, [[shrub]]s, or sometimes [[tree]]s. Most are native to [[tropical]] or warm [[temperate]] regions.

Lobelioideae is a subfamily of the plant family Campanulaceae. It contains 29 genera, totalling about 1200 species. Some of the larger genera are Lobelia, Siphocalymus, 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 plant has a milky juice. The flowers are asymmetrical 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.
