AMONG THE WILD FLOWERS. 
XX. 
THE CAMPANULACE& comprise several genera 
besides Campanula, of which genus we have 7 
species. C. glomerata, Clustered Bell-flower, 
has deep blue sessile flowers, forming dense 
clusters ; C. latzfolia, Giant Bell-flower, is 3 to 
4 feet high, with very large flowers ; C. Trache- 
lium, Nettle-leafed Bell-flower, is smaller, and 
found chiefly in the South; C. rapunculoides, 
styled Creeping Bell-flower, is rare; its flowers 
are unilateral in a terminal cluster. Some 
authors place in this genus Secularia and 
Wahlenbergia, but they are separated by 
Mr. Babington. The latter plant, Ivy-leafed 
Bell-flower, has a filiform prostrate stem, and is 
a charmingly delicate plant ; it inhabits peaty 
places in the South and West. 
C. rotundifolia is our universal FHazr-bell ;
