560 CAMPANULACE (Sond.) [ Lightfootia. 
A perennial herb, 4-1 foot, very leafy. Leaves alternate, ternate, rarely’ oppo- 
site, 4-6 lines long, 4 line broad, the upper smaller. Flowers numerous towards the 
tops of the branches. Pedicels unequal, spreading, capillary, 2-6, in L. capillaris, 
6-10 lines long. Panicle few or many flowered. Calyx 2 lines long. Corolla 5-fid, 
at length nearly 5-parted ; segments very narrow. Capsule hemispherical, 10- 
nerved ; the 3-valves a little shorter than the base of the capsule. The plant I 
possess from Drege, under the name ‘‘ Wahlenb. Cajfra, DC.” agrees perfectly with. 
L. denticulata, 
15. L. paniculata (Sond.) ; quite glabrous ; stems erect, woody,

subulate, canaliculate, entire ; upper ones or the bractez gradually 
smaller; flowers pedicellate; pedicels 2-6 times longer than the calyx ; 
calyx obconical, lobes linear, twice shorter than the 5-parted corolla 
with narrow segments; valves one half, or nearly doubly shorter than
