 te&is, foliis oblongis obtufis hifpidis am- 

 plexicaulibus, floribus terminalibus congcftis. 



Having never feen a perfect, capfule, we are not certain that 

 it is five-celled, though from its five-cornered fhape we have 

 little doubt that this is the cafe. The Calyx is divided into 

 ten fegments, five of which arc ere£i, the other five broader, 

 reflected. The whole plant is hifpid. Root biennial. 



This beautiful Campanula has not to our knowledge been 

 hitherto noticed, but fome account of it will probably appear 

 when we are gratified with the Flora Grseca. 



Our drawing was taken at the Botanical Garden, Brompton, 

 from a plant out of the very extenfive colleclion of J. Swain- 

 son, Efq. at Twickenham, who informs us that he received 

 the feeds of it from the Rev. Mr. Martin, of Eaft-Malling 

 in Kent, to whom it was given by the late Prof. Sib thorps 

 foon after his return from his travels in Greece, Flowers in 

 July, is a hardy biennial : loves a dry foil.
