Seeds of this new fpecies of Campanula were received from 

 Caucafus by Mr. Lod dices, of Hackney, under the name 

 which we have adopted ; we find fpecimens of the fame plant 

 and under the fame name, but mixed with a different fpecies, 

 in the colleQion lent from that country to Sir Joseph Banks, 

 frotrrCount Moussin Poushkin. It flower, with us in July 

 and Auguft. Is probably hardy enough to bear the cold of 

 our winters, but will be more certainly prelerved, by being kept 

 under a frame with other alpine plants.
