Lobelia pedunculata, also known as matted pratia or blue star creeper, is a perennial herb native to Australia. Its sky-blue starry flowers and ability to spread through underground stolons make it a popular choice for gardens. However, some gardeners have found its spreading nature to be a nuisance. In 2013, a new variety of this plant, called Lobelia pedunculata var. Almanda Blue, was discovered in Scott Creek Conservation Park by John Wamsley. Wamsley has registered this variety as intellectual property and a US patent, and clones of the plant are sold as garden plants with royalties going towards preserving biodiversity in the park where it was found.
