It is variable in its ay sometimes erect, sometimes trailing. 
Its copious deep-coloured bell-flowers would render it a great 
ornament for rock-work. 
Descr. Perennial? Stems from a span to two feet long, 
slender, much branched, angular, villous. Leaves alternate, 
remote, broadly or ovato-lanceolate, acuminate, distantly toothed 
or sinuate, sessile or attenuated into a short foofstalk, pubescent 
with scattered hairs. Peduancles slender, more or less elongated 
(much so in age), terminal and axillary, single-flowered. Calya- 
villous. Zude turbinate, five-angled : limb large, of five aed 
ing almost foliaceous /odes, triangular-acuminate, sinuato-dentate. 
Corolla campanulate, deep purple, bright, /ve rather elongated, 
lobes rather large, spreading. Filaments of the stamens free, 
very broad at the base. Sfy/e much longer than the stamens. 
Stigmas three, recurved. W. J. H. 
Cuur. This was raised from seed in the spring of the past year, 
and produced its flowers in the latter part of summer and au- 
tumn. From its appearance at the present time, we have every 
reason to think it will prove perennial. Few plants from the 
elevated Bi aa within or near the tropics (although in their 
native localities enduring a great degree of cold) are able to 
resist the severity of some of our winters without some pro- 
tection. It is therefore desirable to keep plants of this Cam- 
panula in small pots, under a frame, pitttig them out in 
spring in the open border. J. 8. | |
