For the opportunity of figuring' this rare and beautiful 

 species of harebell we are indebted to the kindness of Mrs. 

 Marryat of Wimbledon, in whose rich collection it flowered 

 in great perfection in July last. It had been raised from 

 seeds presented to Mrs. Pallisser by Professor Tenore. 



The following are the observations of that Botanist con- 

 cerning this little know^n species. It is a perennial, flowering 

 in June, and grows wild on Mount Gargano, among the 

 ruins of the ancient Monastery, and near fort St. Angelo. 

 It agrees in the form of its leaves, and in the branching of 

 its peduncles with C. Portenschlagiana ; but differs in the 

 lobes of the calyx being twice not thrice as short as the 

 corolla, and in the deep divisions of tlie latter. From C. 

 diffusa, which it resembles in many respects, it may be dis- 

 tinguished by its deeply 5-parted corolla, with narrow lan- 

 ceolate, revolute segments, and not lialf 5 cleft with broad 

 ovate spreading lobes ; the flowers moreover are racemose 

 and not corymbose. From C. Elatine it differs in iis stem
