CAMPANULA. 
with leaves picturesquely curled and crimped along their edge at 
first, and coarsely sharply toothed with a mark of white in each 
dentation. The spikes, too, are those of C. persicifolia, about a foot 
or less in height, and tending, it seems, to appear in late autumn. 
But what authority can the name possess? For the one recorded 
C. libanotica (DC.) is a variety of C. stricta; and C. stricta is not 
only a species in the group of Trachelium, not of Persicifolia, but 
C. s. libanotica should be a decumbent variety even of that. So that 
there must be arrest of judgment with regard to the name of 
gardeners’ C. “‘libanotica,” though it may fairly be said that this 
pleasant Persicifolia-plant has promise. 
C. strigosa, a pretty hairy annual of small growth and large 
blossom ; common in the fields of Palestine. 
C. suanetica, from near Muri in the Suanetian Caucasus, is much 
to be looked for. It is an improvement on C. radula, but has larger, 
long-pointed leaves, perfectly smooth and deeply heart-shaped, about 
2 or 3 inches long, carried on graceful foot-stalks of 3 or 4 inches, with 
many erect unbranching leafy stems, breaking each into a great 
fountain, a foot high or more, of violet-blue bells, bigger and broader 
than in C. radula. 
C. subpyrenaica, of too many lists, is merely yet another form or 
sub-species in the group of C. rotundifolia. 
C. subpyrenatta, Timb., the true species, from Montserrat, stands 
closest to C. persicifolia, of which it might only prove a form. It has 
very long narrow outward-curving leaves, and flowers few and ex- 
tremely large, at the top of the stem, even surpassing Persicifolia’s 
in size, and with a bigger calyx, covered with broad bent hairs. Its 
description suggests sonie affinities with the stiff ugly thing sent out 
sometimes as C. cristallocalyx ; but it is plain that whatever the hairi- 
ness of the calyx, C. subpyrenaica should be a valuable species, if 
species indeed it be. 
C. sulfurea, a really charming annual for a group, with bright 
yellow flowers. | 
C. telephioeides is reminiscent of C. radicosa, q.v.; a frail and fecble 
floppet from damp alpine grass-slopes on Berytagh at about 8000 to 
9000 feet. They both suggest C. Hlatines, alike in habit and in flower- 
star, staring upwards from the prostrate sprays. But C. telephioeides 
has a difference from C. radicosa in wearing the bracts quite narrow 
instead of broadly egg-shaped, and the style invariably sticks up far 
out of the flowers.
