This distinct and singular Campanula has a scattered 

 distribution in the Eastern Alps. Specimens collected 

 in Venetia, Carniola, Carinthia, Styria and Steiermark 

 are preserved in the Kew Herbarium. It is at home on 

 the limestone rocks of these provinces at an altitude of 

 6.500-9,000 feet above sea-level. 



The peculiar shape of the corolla, with the tube con- 

 stricted at the mouth and erect connivent barbate lobes, 

 gives the flowers an appearance very different from those 

 of typical Campanulas and one not at all bell-like. The 

 corolla lobes are bent inwards to form a 5-sided pyramid 

 and their edges and tips touch. The hairs help to close 

 m the edges, though these can be easily separated by 

 insect visitants. When mature the end of the style is 

 bent almost at right angles, and remains enclosed in the 

 corolla. The anthers dehisce introrselv, and the pollen
