CAMPANULA. 
C. acutangula = C. arvatica, q.v. 
C. Adamit (Willd.) = C. lasiocarpa. 
C. Adamii (Bieb.) = C. bellidifolia. 
C. adscendens is a rather misty Siberian Campanula, akin to C. 
uniflora, or possibly only a variety of C. rotundzfolia. 
C. adsurgens, from heathy places in Galicia, throws up a number 
of fine, finely downy stems, flopping or trying to stand as erect as their 
frailness will allow. They are about a foot high, nearly without 
branches and rather leafy, carrying a number of nodding pale-blue 
flowers, downy outside and with a protruding style. The lower leaves 
are heart-shaped, on long foot-stalks, the upper ones smaller and 
narrower. The root is annual or biennial. 
C. aeizoon also is but a biennial, but truly strange and striking. 
High in the sheer clifi-crevices of Parnassus it makes great smooth- 
leaved rosettes exactly like those of Saxifraga longifolia, from which 
comes a dense thyrsus of wide pale-blue flowers like those of our own 
harebell, large and lovely. And then—death ; but abundant seed. 
C. affinis may possibly be only a variety of C. speciosa, from which 
it differs in carrying its blooms erect, in many undivided stems that 
spring to as much as nearly 4 feet in height ; the leaves are much 
more finely scalloped than in the other, and the erect bells are cleft 
to the middle, with a projecting style, carried in long cylindrical racemes 
and with broad segments to the calyx, half the length of the flower. This 
beautiful ample plant is found in the rocky mountain-woods of Kastern 
Spain, but its claim to be a species truly distinct from C. speciosa is 
not admitted by all, though on the description undeniable. Like the 
other it is probably monocarpous rather than perennial. 
C. aggregate, a coarse and worthless form of C. glomerata. 
C. “alaskana.”’ See under C. rotundifolia. 
C. alata, a large and ae leafy thing from Algiers, in the 
way of C. peregrina. 
C. alliariaefolia, another handsome but large and leafy species from 
the Caucasus, often seeding itself into a nuisance. It has big heart- 
shaped flannelly leaves, and tall branching stems producing a pro- 
fusion of comparatively small cream-white bells. 
C. Allionii (Vill.) is C. alpestris, All., q.v. 
C. alpestris is an cld friend, now restored to a yet oldername. For 
this is C. Allionii of all our gardens and lists. (C. Allionii, Vill., 1779, 
but swept out by the prior name C. alpestris of Allioni himself, 1755.) 
This glorious species, running about everywhere among the stones, 
and sending up in August, above its tufts of very narrow grey or 
greying hairy leaves, those immense flowers like Canterbury bells,
