For the opportunity of figuring this rare and beautiful 
species of harebell we are indebted to the kindness of Mrs. 
Marryat of Wimbledon, in whose rich collection it flowered 
in great perfection in July last. It had been raised from 
seeds presented to Mrs. Pallisser by Professor Tenore. 
The following are the observations of that Botanist con- 
cerning this little known species. It is a perennial, flowering 
in June, and grows wild on Mount Gargano, among the 
ruins of the ancient Monastery, and near fort St. Angelo. 
It agrees in the form of its leaves, and in the branching of 
its peduncles with C. Portenschlagiana; but differs in the 
lobes of the calyx being twice not thrice as short as the 
corolla, and in the deep divisions of the latter. From C. 
diffusa, which it resembles in many respects, it may be dis- 
tinguished by its deeply 5-parted corolla, with narrow lan- 
ceolate, revolute segments, and not half 5 cleft with broad 
ovate spreading lobes; the flowers moreover are racemose 
and not corymbose. From C. Elatine it differs in its stem
