CAMPANULA. 
stemmed, rounded, either entire or dimly scalloped ; the stems are 
nearly naked, and usually unbranching; they rise to 8 inches or 
more, each carrying a single large and ravishing bell of pale clear 
blue, erect or slightly nodding, quite wide open, and deeply cleft 
into five lobes. It fills the alpine pastures and the stream-sides in 
damp grassy places of the Sierra Nevada, the Guadarrama, &c., 
between 6500 to 10,000 feet, and should prosper well among the 
Rotundifolias accordingly. 
C. heterophylla is quite close to C. calaminthifolia, differing only 
in being perfectly smooth and without down. (Cliffs of the Aegean.) 
C. hirsuta, an obscure but surely beautiful species from the valley 
of Virma Dol, Crna Planina. In habit and leafage it rather recalls 
a small and graceful C. barbata ; but here the flowers are in a loose 
cluster of only a few at the bending top of the 6- to 8-inch stems, 
and are very large, open bells, more in the style of C. Raineri’s, but 
rather more swelling in outline, more deeply cloven, and almost 
pendulous. The record, however, is old and unrenewed. 
C. hispanica is so closely allied to C. rotundifolia, and perhaps, like 
C. carnica, Hostii, Scheuchzeri, stenocodon, Baumgartenit, Marchesettii, 
and a host of other too subtly differentiated fading forms, it ought to 
be included in the huge polymorphic aggregate for which the name 
of C. rotundifolia is the most convenient. C. hispanica is a running 
grower, occupying the grassy limy hills of Central and Eastern Spain. 
In appearance it is less like a Harebell, however, than some dwarfed 
form of C. rhomboidalis, with short, finely bristling stems of not more 
than a foot, carrying bells of a dark deep blue. 
C. Hostit. See under C. rotundifolia. 
C. hypopolia has but newly arrived in our midst from the Ossetian 
Caucasus, and its whole habit suggests rather a frail Cerastium than 
a Campanula. It runs about with very fine subterranean stems, 
quite happily in light stony soil or moraine, throwing up, here and 
there, now a barren tuft of foliage, and now an erect stem of 5 or 
6 inches, extremely dainty, delicate, and rarely set with narrow foliage. 
diminishing to the stem, faintly and remotely scalloped, smooth 
above or nearly so, but hoary grey-white on the under side. The 
stems do not branch, so much as develop sometimes a number of equal 
stemlings standing erect so as to form a flat loose head of large wide- 
open beautiful flowers, soft with down outside, and of the noblest 
effect upon their threadlike support ; in this, and their whole beauty, 
not far removed from that of C. Waldsteiniana, but lax and running 
in habit, instead of staying at home in an increasing tuft.
