CAMPANULA. About 230 species have been referred 
to this genus ; they are broadly dispersed over the Northern 
hemisphere, being very copious in the Mediterranean 
region. Calyx tube adnate, the limb deeply five-cleft or 
five-parted; corolla campanulate, rarely funnel-shaped or 
sub-rotate, short, five-cleft to the middle or rarely nearly 
to the base; stamens free of the corolla, the filaments 
often dilated at base, the anthers free. ‘To the species 
described on pp. 2538-8, Vol. I., the following should be 
added. Afew plants formerly included hereunder are now 
. referred to Adenophora, Musschia, Platycodon, 
Prismatocarpus, Specularia, Symphyandra, and 
Wahlenbergia. : 
Campanulas, especially the perennial kinds, are some of 
the most useful of hardy flowers. They have not a wide 
colour-range, but they make up for this deficiency by 
furnishing gardens with some of the most beautiful blue 
shades imaginable. Again, they are most accommodating, 
and any ordinary border will suit the tall-growing kinds,

Campanula—continued. 
of which the lovely forms of C. persicefolia (Fig. 198), the 
hybrid C. Burghalti, the double-flowered varieties of 
OQ. Trachelium, the time-honoured Chimney Bellflower 
(C. pyramidalis), and C. glomerata are amongst the best. 
For the rockery there is a delightful section, embracing 
the well-known C. Portenschlagiana, C. valdensis, CO. tur- 
binata, the pretty trailing C. isophylla and OC. 7. alba, and 
a host of others. The last, together with C. fragilis, are 
favourite subjects for hanging-baskets and for window- 
plants. Others, like C. rapunculoides (a native plant), are 
worthy of a place in the wild garden.

C. abietina (Abies-like). 1. light blue; spikes loose, branching. 
July and August. Stems slender, Yin. to 15in. high. Eastern 
Europe. Plant tufted. 
C. alliarizefolia (Alliaria-leaved).- jl. creamy-white, nodding, 
very shortly pedunculate ; corolla hairy, infundibular-campanu- 
late, four or five times longer than the calyx. June and July. 
7, pubescent above, hoary beneath; lower ones long-petiolate, 
ovate-cordate or reniform, crenate-toothed ; upper ones much 
smaller, sessile, ovate. Orient, 1803. Syns. C. lamiifolia, C. 
macrophylla (B. M. 912). 
Cc. autumnalis (autumnal). A synonym of Platycodon grandi- 
Jlorum. 
Cc. Balchiniana (Balchin’s). jl. of a soft pale blue, lin. to 
lyin. across. J. profusely variegated with creamy-white and 
pale green. 1896. A beautiful hybrid between C. fragilis and 
C. isophylla alba. 
Cc. Burghalti (Burghalt’s). See C. Van Houttei. 
Cc. Calycanthema (calyx-flowered). A variety of C. Medium. 
Cc. elegans (elegant). jl. blue, pendent, shortly pedicellate, 
disposed in a long, terminal spike; corolla about lin. long. 
June and July. J. ovate-lanceolate, acute, sub-triangular, 
rounded or cordate at base, irregularly toothed; radical ones 
long-petiolate. h. 24ft. to 3ft. Siberia. 
Cc. garganica hirsuta (hairy). jl. very profuse ; sepals rather 
longer and somewhat narrower than in the type; corolla poe 
blue, pale towards the base, saucer-shaped. J. (as well as the 
stem) Wee covered with longish, stiff, white hairs. Flowering 
branches longer and slenderer than in the species. Habit dwarf 
and more trailing. An excellent Pe for hanging baskets, 
flower-boxes, brackets in corridors, &c.

merely a dwarf, proliferous form of the species. 38.
