CAMPANULA. 
4 
stems of 4 to 6 inches; from rocky places and barren shingles on 
Elburs and Shahdagh. 
C. cissophylla has narrow blue-velvet tubes, and is not far removed 
from C. Billardieri, though with smaller flowers. Rocks of Persian 
Kurdistan, 4000 to 6000 feet. 
C. cochlearifolia. See under C. Bellardi and also under C. 
versicolor. 
‘C. collina colours the sub-alpine fields of Lazic Pontus about 
Trebizond, and up to some 5000 feet in central and eastern Caucasus. 
It is one of the most gorgeous Campanulas we have, with tufts of 
downy foliage scallop-edged and oblong heart-shaped on longish 
foot-stalks, and then the graceful foot-high stems, gracefully carrying 
magnificent big bells of imperial purple, satiny and brilliant, whose 
only fault is that they pass over almost as quickly as the roseate 
hues of early dawn, so that, when June is by, nothing is left but a 
memory. C. collina thrives admirably and runs freely, in any good 
and open loam. In its higher range, too, it turns into a 2- to 3-inch 
dwarf, and thus trenches boldly on the splendour of C. Sazifraga. 
Division and seed. 
C. colorata is a worthless Indian, not only ugly but tender. 
It has been indiscreetly praised by some who cannot have seen 
it—a rambling inconspicuous weed, neither new, nor fine, nor hardy. 
C. compacta, from the high region of Davrosdagh in Pisidia, forms 
hard and dense tuffets, all hoary-grey, of densely-rosetted basal 
leaves, quite narrow spoon-shaped, blunted at the tip. The stiff stems 
are only some 2 to 5 inches high, with fluffy calyces emitting large 
smooth erect stars of blossom with erect and spreading lobes and a 
deeply-cleft corolla. 
C. conferta is of the same value. 
C. corymbosa is a big border species, in the way of C. Medium, 
handsome and impressive, with lordly pyramids of bells. 
C. Costae may be described as a robuster and more branching 
version of C. patula, with much narrower calyx-segments. (Spain. 
Biennial.) 
C. crispa is found in the rock-crevices of Turkish Armenia. It isa 
fine monocarpic species with tufts of shining green leafage, oblong 
heart-shaped, on foot-stalks, and at the edge all scalloped and crimped. 
The flower-stems are about a foot high, clothed in a close raceme of 
large handsome blossoms, blue or white. 
C. cristallocalyx, a stiff and comparatively ugly form of C. persici- 
folia, which wears a full set of crystal bristles on its calyx. 
C. Cymbalaria (Sibth. and Sm.)=C. Billardiert, q.v.
