very pretty and delicate species, abundant in Devonshire, 
Cornwall, Surrey, and other southern and midland counties. 
Stem weak and fine. Leaves all stalked, heart-shaped, 
toothed, and smooth. Flower-stalks long, slender, generally 
terminal, each having a slender, bell-shaped blossom of a 
light blue, at first drooping, and then erect. The whole 
plant small and very elegant. 
CompaNnuLa HYBRIDA. Corn Bellflower. Found rather 
later than the rest, in corn-fields of a dry and chalky nature, 
but confined to the middle and southern countries. The 
stem simple or branched from the base, leaves oblong, and 
waved. Corolla purple, wide, and spreading; flowers few 
and terminal. There are still four species of this beautiful 
genus, but they will scarcely be met with by those new to 
the study.
