CAMPANULACEA,. CAMPANULÆ DUBIÆ. 
capillary, flexuous, an inch long. h. G. Native of the Cape 
of Good Hope. This is certainly nota species of Campánula, 
but it may be a species of Lightfoòtia, Roélla, or Prismato- 
carpus. 
Stellate Bell-flower. Shrub 4 to 1 foot. 
2 CAMPA'NULA LANCEOLA`TA (Roxb. fl. ind. 2. p. 96.) branch- 
ed, glabrous; leaves alternate or nearly opposite, on short peti- 
oles, lanceolate, serrated, acuminated ; flowers terminal ; calycine 
segments lanceolate and jagged ; capsule obovate, 5-celled. ©. 
H. Native of Chittagong, in humid valleys. Plant delicate, 
1} foot high, simple or branched at the top, sending out 2 or 
3 1-flowered peduncles. Flowers inclined, size and form of C. 
rotundifolia. Radical leaves not seen. Perhaps this plant is 
allied to Platycddon. 
Lanceolate-leaved Bell-flower. Pl. 1 to 1} foot. 
3 Campa’NuLA PHYTEUMOÌDES (Zuccagni, cent. 1. obs. bot. in 
Reem. et Schultes, syst. 1. p. 84.) plant small; radical leaves 
numerous, lanceolate, obtuse, running down the petioles, undu- 
lated; cauline leaves few, remote, sessile, stem-clasping, mucro- 
nate; flowers sessile, crowded into a short spike or in a head; 
calyx with a tetragonal base, and erect, lanceolate, smooth seg- 
ments; corolla campanulate, violaceous, larger than the calyx ; 
style elevated, exserted ; capsule tetragonal.—Native of Mount 
Olympus, in Bithynia. Perhaps a species of Phytewma. 
Phyteuma-like Bell-flower. Pl. small. 
4 Campa’nuza cLav'ca (Thunb. fl. jap. p. 88.) leaves sessile, 
ovate, serrated, glaucous beneath; stem angular, panicled ; pe- 
duncles 1-flowered.—Native of Japan, near Nagasaki; also cul- 
tivated. Kekko Kempf. ameen. v. p. 822. Stem suffruticose, 
angular, glabrous, paniculately branched at top. Leaves green 
above, with rather reflexed edges. Flowers axillary, and on the 
tops of the branches solitary. Peduncles bracteate. Corollas 
large, blue. The roots are esculent, like those of Rampion. It 
Is, perhaps, a species of Campdnula, but more probably of Platy- 
codon or Adendphora. 
Glaucous Bell-flower. PI 2 feet. 
5 Campa’nuta Monreviner’nsts (Spreng. syst. 1. p. 788.) 
stem erect, downy, branched at the base ; leaves obsoletely cre- 
nated: lower ones spatulate : superior ones cordate, stem-clasp- 
Ing ; flowers solitary, sessile; calycine segments ovate, cuspi- 
ae of Monte Video, where it was collected by 
ello. 
Monte- Video Bell-flower. Pl. erect. 
6 Campa’nuta carnosa (Wall. in Roxb. fl. ind. 2. p. 102.) 
plant smooth, fleshy, procumbent ; leaves ovate, cuspidately ser- 
rated, petiolate; flowers axillary, on capillary peduncles, which 
are about equal in length to the leaves; filaments linear, not 
dilated at the base. 2.H. Native of Nipaul on Mount Sheo- 
pore, towards the middle, on rocks near rivulets. Stems creep- 
Ing, obscurely 3-cornered. Flowers very small, of a pale blue. 
alycine segments entire, erect. Corolla funnel-shaped, more 
than twice the length of the calyx, with a quinquefid sub-bila- 
biate limb ; segments oblong, acute, equal; the two uppermost 
ones more parallel and erect; the rest spreading. Stamens dis- 
tinct, distant, a little shorter than the corolla; filaments flat, not 
valvate at the base, inserted together with the corolla on the 
dise of the ovarium; anthers erect, linear. Ovarium oblong, 
obscurely triangular, 3-celled, many-seeded ; its vertex not 
elongated, as is usual in the genus, but covered by a fleshy yel- 
lowish disc. Style filiform; stigmas 3, linear. Capsule club- 
shaped, prismatic, bursting towards the base by 3 round valves. 
his is certainly not a species of Campanula, but from the cha- 
Facters given, it appears to be a new genus, connecting Cam- 
Panuldcee with Lobeliacee. 
Fleshy Bell-flower. PI. creeping. 
EPACRIDEZ. 773 
Orper CXXXVIII. EPACRIDEÆ (this order contains 
plants agreeing with Epdcris in important characters). R. Br. 
prod. p. 535. 
Calyx 5-parted, (rarely 4-parted), usually coloured, perma~ 
nent. Corolla hypogynous, monopetalous, with the tube some- 
times divisible into 5 parts; limb 5-cleft, rarely 4-cleft, equal, 
and sometimes bursting transversely from the segments, co- 
hering, valvate or imbricate in estivation, deciduous or mar- 
cescent. Stamens equal in number to the segments of the 
corolla, and alternating with them, rarely fewer; filaments 
epipetalous or hypogynous; anthers simple, with a single 
polliniferous receptacle, constituting a complete, rarely a 
marginate dissepiment, undivided, dehiscing longitudinally. 
Pollen subglobose, rather angular, or composed of 3 com- 
bined globules. Ovarium sessile, usually girded by 5 dis- 
tinct or combined scales, many-celled, rarely 1-celled. Seeds 
solitary or indefinite. Style 1; stigma 1, sometimes toothed. 
Fruit drupaceous, baccate, or capsular. Seeds albuminous. 
Embryo straight, slender, longer than the half of the albumen.— 
Shrubs or small trees. Leaves alternate, very rarely opposite, 
entire, rarely serrated, usually petiolate, or with a simple base ; 
having the bases broader, imbricated, cucullate, and sheathing a 
little. Flower spicate or racemose, terminal: or solitary and 
axillary. Calyxes or pedicels furnished with 2 or more brac- 
teas, which are of the same texture as the calyx. Flowers white 
or purple, rarely blue. This order is chiefly distinguished from 
Ericàceæ in the anthers being awnless and 1-celled. The 
shrubs are all elegant, of a dry prickly habit, with tubular or 
campanulate flowers.
