fewer flowers, generally from one to five, and narrower leaves, 

 more refembling thofe of Echium vulgar e. Linnjeus de- 

 fcribes the caplules as five-celled, but both Haller and 

 K rocker fay it is three-celled; we had no opportunity of 

 examining this circumftance; but, from the trifid ftigma, con- 

 clude that our plant was three-celled. The capfules of many 

 Campanulas are, however, fubjecl; to vary in the number of 

 the cells of the fruit, even in the fame individual. 



Whether the Campanula Allioni of Villars be really 

 different from the barbata> appears to us very doubtful ; the 

 principal points which this author infifts upon, as marking a 

 fpecific difference, are in direft oppofition to the obfervations 

 of Allioni. What he fays of the leaves being more obtufe> 

 even obovate, and the flowers larger and more inflated, cor- 

 refponds with cur figure, and may lead to a doubt, if thefe 

 plants are really different, to which of them ours belongs ; for 

 the number of the flowers is often greatly increafed by culti- 

 vation, and although Allioni fays his alpejiris has never 

 more than one, yet this is contradicted by Villars. 



Native of the Alps of Switzerland, Piedmont, and Auftria. 

 Introduced to our gardens by Doctors Pitcairn and Fo- 

 thergill about the year 1775. Is a hardy perenial.
