CAMPANULA. 
the blue saucers stick stiffly all the way up the stiff three-foot stems, 
instead of having the detached and delicate grace of C. persicifolia’s. 
C’. Ledebouriana makes a splash of colour in the cliffs‘of Ararat—a 
tuft of 2-inch leaves about an inch and a half in length (with their 
stalk), and on the upper side coated with backward-lying close-pressed 
stiff hairs ; otherwise like a diminished copy of C. Sazifraga, with a 
quantity of rather smaller violet bells, appearing solitary on 2-inch 
stems all round each rosette. 
C. Lehmanniana ; very pretty, in the cliffs of Karatau only about 
2 inches high, but in cultivation sometimes attaining to 8 or 10 inches. 
The leaves are narrow, saw-edged and grey; while the flowers are 
fine blue tubular bells, carried in a shower on delicate foot-stalks. 
C. leucoclada, a hopeless ugly little rock-tuft from cliffs above 
Quetta. 
C. leucosiphon, not much better ; narrow white funnel-shaped tubes 
of no good size, above masses of soft and woolly leaves, only fitted for 
the sheltered grottoes where it lives in the Isaurian Taurus. 
C. Leutweinti—C. incurva, q.v. 
C. libanotica, a variety of C. stricta, q.v. But the garden plant 
of this name is extremely doubtful. See under C. stricta. 
C. lingulata, a worthless Cluster-head. 
C. linifolia. See under C. rotundifolia, where all these shadowy 
species will be found gathered together. 
C. Loefflingii, a pretty annual Spanish species, but very variable, 
usually with a generous abundance of flowers, suggesting those of C. 
rhomboidalis. Its correct name is C. lusitanica. 
C. longistyla; a most beautiful thing, though only biennial at the 
best ; but its great violet bells, with their long protruding style, are 
carried so gracefully on spikes of a foot or 18 inches, that in charm 
they recall those of C. collina, and in size surpass them. 
C. Loreyi=C. ramosissima, q.v. 
C. lourica, a minute hoary dense tuft with purple bells solitary on 
stems of a couple of inches or so, the leaves being narrowly oblong and 
closely packed, while the plant in other respects is a reduced con- 
densed version of C. trichopoda from the clifis of Elburs. 
C. lusitanica is the correct name of C. Loefflingit. See above. 
C. lyrata=—C. Celsir. 
CO. macrantha. See under C. latifolia. . 
C. macrochlamys carries its flowers in a crowd, enclosed in a frill 
of foliage—a curious but not lovely Cluster-head. 
C. macrorrhiza, that beautiful Harebell which fills all the walls and 
rocks of all the Riviera, even at midwinter, with waving clouds of
