{{Inc|
Heterotoma (name refers to the unequally cut corolla). Campanulaceae. About 10 species of Mexican annuals and perennials, one of which has come somewhat into cult. Lvs. alternate: fls. blue, yellow or orange, in terminal racemes; calyx tubular with an unequally 5-parted limb, the 2 anterior lobes usually adnate to the spur of the corolla; corolla-tube split to the base on the back, in front produced into a horizontal or deflexed spur, the limb short and incurved and with either nearly equal or unequal lobes; stamen- tube free from corolla; ovary inferior, 2-celled, many- ovuled: caps. 2-valved. H.lobelioides, Zucc. Erect, branching, the st. pubescent: lvs. alternate, ovate- lanceolate, distantly toothed, acuminate: fls. about 2 in. long, single on slender axillary peduncles, odd; corolla-spur blood-red, the limb golden yellow and 3- lobed; lower lip of calyx adnate to the corolla-tube and the 2 subulate green lobes projecting beyond it: staminal column erect, as long as the corolla-limb, and prominent. Mountains in Mex. and Cent. Amer. B.M. 849. R.H. 1905, p. 9.—An interesting showy perennial, sometimes called "bird flower," to be grown in a cool greenhouse in winter and in the open in summer.
