Gun. Cuar.— Calyx 5-parted. Corolla bell-shaped or rotate, 5-lobed. 
Stamens 5, free. Style cleft into 3-5 stigmatic lobes. Capsule turbi- 
nate, 3-5-celled, cells opening by pores. 
Spsc. Crar.—Calyz-segments reflexed or sometimes spreading, acu-

Campanula macrorhiza, Gay in DC. Prod. vii. 475 ; Woods, Tour. 
FI. p. 239. 
' Hasrrat.—Clefts of Jurassic limestone, from shore to 4000 feet ele- 
vation. January to April. 
Remarks.—Campanula . macrorhiza, Gay, takes the place of Cam- 
panula rotundifolia, L., in this department, and I have never yet heard 
of these plants being found in the same locality. The distinctions given 
above as separating this plant as a species are but slight, and it is quite 
possible that intermediates may be found in which the pendent capsule 
of C. rotundifolia, Linn., oceurs on plants having the reflexed calyx- 
segments of C. macrorhiza, Gay. I have, however, been unable to find 
any such intermediates, either growing or in herbaria. The specimens 
figured were gathered at Pont St. Louis in February, 1864. 
Expranation or Pirate XXIX.—Fig. 1, mature capsules of the 
natural size.
