3 S. Arme‘na (Alph. D.C. mon. p. 367.) stem erect, twiggy, 
stiff, pilose ; leaves ovate, acute, coarsely serrated, clothed with 
hoary velvety down; flowers terminal, solitary; calyx hoary,

in the fissures of rocks, about Gandsha. Campanula Arména, 
Stev. mem. soc. mosc. 3. p. 256. Bieb. fl. taur. suppl. p. 145. 
Root oblong, fixed to rocks. Stem branched, rather woody, 
purplish, downy. Leaves tomentose beneath; lower ones cor- 
date, similar to those of Allidria officindlis. Flowers solitary, 
drooping, terminating the branches. Corolla blue. 
Armeman Symphyandra. Fl. July, Aug. Clt. 1825. PI. 
1 foot. 
4 S.? Ossr’rica (Alph. D. C. mon. p. 368.) stem humble, 
simple ; leaves petiolate, cordate, doubly serrated ; calyxes gla- 
brous, with the segments long and denticulated, much shorter 
than the sinuses, which are reflexed ; corolla somewhat 5-cleft, 
having the segments pilose inside. 2. H. Native of Iberia, in 
Ossetia, on Mount Kaischaur. Campanula Ossética, Bieb. fl. 
taur. suppl. p. 145. Habit of S. péndula, but is destitute of 
branches, and is wholly glabrous. Flowers solitary, axillary, 
erect, disposed in a crowded simple raceme from the middle of 
the stem to its top. Corollas blue. 
Ossetian Symphyandra. PI. 4 to 1 foot. 
Cult. These plants have much the habit of the large bell- 
flowered species of Campanula, as C. punctàta and C. médium. 
They are of easy culture, and are increased by dividing at the 
root, or by seed; and being showy, are worth cultivating as 
border-flowers.

Cult. This remarkable shrub thrives very well in a mixture 
of loam and peat; but is only to be increased by seed, of which 
abundance is produced in the gardens. 
+ A genus not sufficiently known, and it is not quite certain 
whether it belongs to Campanulacee. 
XXI. MERCIE'RA (named by Alphonse De Candolle, in 
honour of his friend, Philip Mercier, who has written a mono- 
graph on the order Polemoniacee). Alph. D. C. mon. p. 370.— 
Trachélium species, Thunb. prod. p. 88. Lin. suppl. p. 143.— 
Roélla species, Banks, herb. 
Lin. syst. Penténdria, Monogynia. Calyx 5-cleft, with an 
ovoid tube. Corolla 5-lobed, caducous, with a very narrow 
tube. Stamens 5, free; filaments very slender at the base, 
much longer than the anthers. Style filiform, usually ex- 
serted, glabrous ; stigmas 2, very short. Ovarium inferior, 1- 
celled, probably always. Ovula usually 4, placed in the bottom 
of the ovarium. Capsule indehiscent.?—Small Cape shrubs, 
with the habit of Roélla. Stems erect, branched; branches 
very leafy, downy, rather woody, reddish. Leaves sessile, 
alternate, crowded, linear-subulate, more or less ciliated, stiff, 
and very similar to those of Roélia. Flowers sessile, solitary, 
spicate, always axillary. Inflorescence centripetal. Calyx 
with a very hispid tube, and lanceolate acute smoothish seg- 
ments. Corolla like that of Trachélium, long, tubular, and 
narrow. The character of the capsule still remains unknown; 
this is, however, without doubt inferior, and probably 1-celled, 
and contains 4 ovula in the bottom. The capsule is without 
any indication of dehiscence in the specimen examined by Alph.

1 M. tenvurroria (Alph. D. C. mon. p. 370. t. 5.) leaves 
much ciliated; corolla blue, longer than the leaves, 5-lobed 
at the very apex: lobes lanceolate, spreading, pilose on the 
back ; style a little exserted. h. G. Native of the Cape of 
Good Hope. Trachélium tenuifolium, Thunb. prod. fl. cap. p+ 
38. Lin. suppl. p. 143. Roélla compacta, R. pinifdlia, and 
Trachélium tenuifolium, Thunb. in herb. Banks. Habit of 
Roélla ciliata. Stem erect, branched. Flowers very numerous, 
always lateral, solitary and sessile in the axils of the leaves. 
Fine-leaved Merciera. Shrub 1 foot. 
2 M. srevirorta (Alph. D. C. p. 371.) leaves ciliated a little ; 
corolla white, length of leaves, 5-lobed at the apex: lobes lan- 
ceolate, spreading, glabrous; style doubly longer than the co- 
rolla. h. G. Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Roélla 
lateriflora, Banks, herb. Very like the preceding. Flowers 
numerous, lateral, solitary, in the axils of the leaves. 
Short-leaved Merciera. Shrub 1 foot. 
3 M. teprétosa (Alph. D. C. mon. p. 371.) leaves ciliated ; 
corolla rather shorter than the leaves, white, 5-cleft: lobes linear, 
erectish, glabrous; style length of corolla. h. G. Native of 
the Cape of Good Hope. Habit of the preceding species. 
Flowers sessile, solitary, among the leaves. 
Slender-lobed-flowered Merciera. Shrub 1 foot. 
Cult. A mixture of peat and sand is a good soil for the 
species of Merciéra; and they may be increased either by cut- 
tings under a hand-glass, or by seed. 
Ț Plants referred to the genus Campdnula, but it is doubtful to 
what genera they belong.
