326 CAMPANULACEAE 



Our plant, which has the calyx hispid, is the C. urticifolia, Schmidt, 

 PI. Boem. ii. 73, and the var. dasycarpa of Koch, Syn. Fl. Germ. 470 

 (1837). At Wytham /. pedunculata occurs, in which the flowers are 

 stalked. 



Obs. Our garden forms of Canterbuiy Bells probably had their origin 

 in this species. 



0. Trachelium occurs in all the bordering counties.

 Syme, E. B. vi. 10, t. 868. Is recorded for Surrey, Wilts, and Grloucestershire.] 



*C. rapunculoides, Linn. Sp. PL 165 (1753). 



Top. Bot. 264. Syme, E. B. vi. 11, t. 869. Nyman, 478. Fl. Oxf. 187. 

 Denizen. Dry woods, banks, and hedges. Very local. P. July- August. 

 First recorded from near Wallingford in Mr. Baxters MSS. 183 1. 



2. Ock. In a wood near Wallingford, Berks, Aug. 5, 1831, Mr. E. B. 



Hetolett, who brought a specimen to the Oxford Garden, Baxter MSS. 



Sparingly on a dry hedge-bank on Boar's Hill, where it very 



rarely flowers. My friend, the Bev. H. J. Riddelsdell, pointed out to 



me the young leaves of this plant in 1892, but it was not till the 



season of 1895 that I succeeded in obtaining a plant in flower. 



5. Loddon. One plant near Wellington College, Penny, 1874. 



Naturalized at Hurst, Melvill. On a bank near Blackwater, in a 



wild-looking locality. On the slopes of Windsor Castle quite 



naturalized. Also in the private portion of Windsor Park near 



Frogmore. 



In the Wellington College list for 1894 it is said to occur everywhere 



about the College, but C. rotvndifolia is evidently meant. 



C. rapunculoides is recoi'ded for Oxford, Surrey, Hants, and Gloucester- 

 shire. 



C. rotundifolia, Linn. Sp. PI. 163 (1753), and of Ger, Em. 452. Hare- 

 hell, PMund -leaved Bell-flower. 



Top. Bot. 263. Syme, E. B. vi. 13, t. 870. Nyman, 479. Fl. Oxf. 188. 



Native. Glareal. Heaths, commons, dry sandy fields, &c. Common 

 and widely distributed. P. June-September. 



First recorded as * Canterbury Bells, No. i & 2, thease grow in Merley 

 wood,' MS. in Lyte's Herball, 1660. C. rotundifolia, Dr. Noehden, 

 Mavor's Ayr. Berks, 1809. With Uredo Campanulae, Pers. about 

 Oxford, Baxt. Phaen. Bot. No. 61 (1834). The white-flowered form 

 was recorded from North Heath in Russell's Cat. 1839. I have seen 

 it near Kadley. 

 C. rotundifolia is too well known and too widely distributed to require 



a list of localities. It occurs in all the bordering counties. 



Obs. Our Berkshire plants appear to rarely exhibit the round radical 



leaves so frequently seen in the North British specimens.
