12 ENGLISH BOTANY. 



Nottingham, York, Edinburgh, and Perth, and on more doubtful 

 authority from those of Oxford, Worcester, Gloucester, and Forfar. 



England, Scotland. Late Summer. 



Stem more slender than in the preceding species, 18 inches to 

 3 feet high, simple in small, paniculately -branched in large exam- 

 ples, lladical leaves resembling those of Viola odorata, but much 

 narrower ; stem-leaves rather distant. Elowers 1^ to Ij inch long, 

 bright-purple, secund. As in C. latifolia, the inflorescence is a true 

 raceme, with the lowest flowers opening first ; but the terminal flower 

 generally expands before the 3 or 4 flowers immediately below it. 

 Plant dull-green, puberulent rather than pubescent. 



I have not seen the peduncles branched in this species, but it is 

 very probable they may be so occcasionally. 



Creeping Bell-flower. 



French, Campanula Fausse Haiponce. German, Rapunzel GlocTceriblume.

Kootstock slightly creeping, very slender, elongated, much 

 branched, without thickened radical fibres, sometimes stoloniferous. 

 Stems slender, wiry, erect, often decumbent at the base, sub- 

 glabrous, paniculately branched or simple. Radical leaves on long 

 stalks, roundish or broadly-ovate, cordate or sub-cordate, crenate 

 or serrate ; lowest stem-leaves sometimes ovate or oblanceolate, 

 the rest linear, subsessile or sessile, acute, entire ; all glabrous, 

 rarely more or less pubescent. Inflorescence a raceme or racemose 

 panicle, definite, the terminal flower opening first, in small spe- 

 cimens reduced to a solitary terminal flower. Elowers slightly 

 drooping. Peduncles 1 - flow^ered, more rarely 2-flowered, very 

 slender, without bracteoles, or with 1 or 2 very minute linear- 

 subulate ones in the lower half. Calyx-tube glabrous ; segments 

 subulate, erect. Corolla widely campanulate, with the segments 

 slightly recurved, about one-fourth the length of the whole corolla, 

 roundish-ovate, sub-obtuse. Stigmas 3. Capsule nodding, opening 

 by pores at the base of the calyx-tube.
