CAMPANULA. 
C. fastigiata is a rare pretty annual from Algiers and Central Spain, 
like a very neat and densely-tufted Specularia, making a small mound 
of an inch or two, all covered with open stars of brightest violet. 
C. fenestrellata is a Croatian species or form intimately connected 
with C. garganica ; of the same beauty and for the same uses. Its 
present forms in cultivation seem to be wholly smooth and hairless, 
but of course no certain character can be built on that. 
C. Fergusoni. See under C. carpatica. 
C. ficarioeides. See under C. rotundifolia. 
C. floribunda =C. tsophylla, q.v. . 
C. foliosa, a large cluster-head from Thessalian wood-edges, with 
many blossoms to the bunch; worthless species are C. fastigiata, 
filicaulis, floridana, and the deceiifully named C. fulgens. But 
C. aristata, from 11,000 feet in Kashmir and Tibet, is not so bad as 
sometimes represented—a graceful smooth plant with a number of 
12-inch stems, each carrying one flower. 
C. fragilis has another name that is misapplied. For this is 
sometimes confused with the yet grander C. isophylla. It is also 
called sometimes C. Cavolinii and C. Barreliert. It is a beautiful 
Italian rock-plant forming tufts in the clifis of long-stemmed fleshy 
little foliage not unlike that of C. Bellardii, either quite glossy-smooth 
or else hairy (sporting greatly in this respect, as they all do), from 
which depend or flop a lavish number of unbranched stems from 
4 to 16 inches long, heaped and piled with beautiful ample open starry 
cups of blue, twice the size of C. garganica’s, but barely half that 
of isophylla’s or Rainevi’s, but fuller and deeper-lobed than in C. 
garganica. In cultivation it is far too rarely seen, its name having 
become obscure ; but is an easy and delightful thing for sunny rocks, 
and the general treatment of C. Hlatines. It has been also divided 
into many named varieties, of which there are C. f. hirsuta, diffusa, 
and another, cochlearifolia, which is already breeding confusion with 
a form of C. Bellarduw that bears the same epithet. 
C. garganica, from the rocks of Italy and all the Adriatic, has 
become a generally-prized rock-garden ornament, though not perhaps 
quite equai in beauty to either C. Hlatines or C. fragilis, the growth, 
though heartier, being much lusher and leafier than in the first, and 
the blossoms flatter and thinner than in the second, so that altogether 
they seem rather less impressive than in either of the others—per- 
fectly expanded starfishes of blue or slate-blue or electric blue or 
white, scattered abundantly along the rock-hugging branches that 
spread away from the thick central tuft of little pointed heart- 
shaped leaves, and splay tightly along the face of the cliff like the
