Lobelia anceps, commonly known as angled lobelia, is a small herbaceous plant in the family Campanulaceae native to Western Australia,[1] New Zealand, South America and South Africa.[2]

The prostrate to ascending perennial herb typically grows to a height of 1.2 metres (3.9 ft). It blooms between September and May and produces blue-violet-white flowers.

It is found along the banks of pools, creeks and rivers along coastal areas between the Mid West and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy-peat-clay soils over granite or limestone.[1]
