_A near ally of the beautiful Whitlavia grandiflora, Harv., 
Plate 4813 (Phacelia Whitlavia, A. Gray), with smaller 
_ flowers, but of even a more brilliant blue, rivalling those of 
the most admired Gentians. It is a native of San Bernardino 
and San Diego countries in Southern California, countries 
_ swarming with species of the genus which, including Hutoca, 
_ Whitlavia, and others, now numbers fifty-seven species, 
natives for the most part of the Western United States. 
P. campanularia was raised by Mr. Thompson, of Ipswich, 
who kindly forwarded to Kew specimens for figuring in 
this work. It flowered in the open border in July, 1882.
