The very interesting Campanula here figured is a species 
which is endemic in Northern Spain, where it is confined 
to that portion of the Cantabrian mountains known as the 
Picos di Europa which lies between the provinces of Leon 
and Asturias. It was first recognised as a distinct species 
under the name C. arvatica more than a century ago, but 
appears to have been lost sight of until some thirty years 
ago when it was rediscovered and again described by 
Leresche and Levier as C. acutangula. Its nearest ally in 
the genus is C. Morettiana, Reichb., a native of the Tirol, 
and occasionally in gardens it is treated as a variety of that 
species. The Spanish is, however, very readily distinguished 
from the Tirolese plant in being glabrous in all its parts, 
in having smaller leaves, more slender stems, and especially 
in having a more open and less distinctly funnel-shaped
