422 Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 



Family 139. Campanulace^. Bellflower Family 

 728. harebell; blue bells of scotland 



CAMPANULA ROTUNDIFOLIA L. 



Occasional on the lake shore, especially where high banks come 

 down to the water's edge, as at Murray's, between Kreutzberg- 

 er's pier and the depot, along the east side on slopes, near the 

 Gardiner cottage, etc., also on the railroad embankment by Green's. 

 Found abundantly in flower June 22, 1901. It flowers quite late in 

 the autumn, long after frosts. Noted in flower through the autumn 

 of 1904 until as late as November 7. This plant was found thriv- 

 ing on almost bare rocks in the summer of 1908, at Put-in-Bay, 

 and would seem to be a very desirable plant to put on slopes. It 

 added greatly to the attractiveness of the railroad embankment 

 along the road. 



729. MARSH OR BEDSTRAW BELLFLOWER 



CAMPANULA APARINOIDES Puish 



Scattered in wet grassy places, as in Green's marsh and the 

 Inlet marsh; probably quite common. The plant, though it grows 

 two feet high, is inconspicuous and easily overlooked, even when 

 the dainty flowers are fully open. The delicate plant clambering 

 over stiff sedges or supporting itself by half-climbing low willows, 

 reminds one somewhat of one of the bedstraws. The white blos- 

 soms, though not large, strike one as rather large fo>' the plant. 



730. TALL BELLFLOWER 



CAMPANULA AMERICANA L. 



Rather common in woodlands east of the lake. A well known, 

 tall, rather graceful plant, remaining in blossom until frost. 

 Hardly a "bellflower" in the strictest sense; though the wheel- 

 shaped corollas are not unlike the drooping graceful bells of the 

 other species, they stick to the side of the stem more like targets. 



731. VENUS' LOOKING-GLASS 



SPECULARIA PERFOLIATA (L.) A. DC. 



Very abundant in sand in Green's field east of Lost Lake out- 

 let. Seen in flower along Long Point road June 14, 1901.
