less rough all over its lower part. Leaves longer, broader, and 

 more uniform, than in the last species 5 the lower ones taper- 

 ing into footstalks. Panicle long, cylindrical, of a regular 

 series of shortish, unequal, aggregate or subdivided, smooth, 

 bracteated stalks. Cal. slender, almost entirely without teeth. 

 Cor. light blue, swelling in the lower part,

Perennial. July. 



Root somewhat creeping. Stems 1 \ or 2 feet high, erect, simple, 

 round, pale, very smooth, more or less leafy. Leaves long and 

 narrow, with very shallow serratures, especially the uppermost, 

 which are acute, and nearly entire. Fl. very large, above an inch 

 wide, of a fine blue, erect. Germen often hairy, as Scopoli re- 

 marks ; but this character is not invariable. Segments of the 

 calyx long, lanceolate, entire, very smooth and even. Haller 

 erroneously applies to this species Linneeus's remark of the 

 toothed calyx in C. patula. 



Thejlowers are often solitary in wild specimens. In gardens, where 

 they are generally double, and often of a brilliant white, there are 

 always several on each stem. This plant being a native of most 

 parts of the continent, from Sweden to Greece, may well be 

 found also in Scotland, and 1 concur with Professor Hooker in 

 admitting it. Mr. G. Don's specimens have a perfectly wild 

 aspect. 



5. C. latifolia. Giant Bell-flower. 



Leaves roughish, ovate-lanceolate. Stem unbranched, 

 round. Stalks single-flowered. Fruit drooping.
