The form of the leaf, especially at the base, and the length 
of the petiole, is so variable that we have little doubt of these 
‘ynonyms belonging to the same species. It is also the L. Zey- 
‘ca of many herbaria; but the Linnean species of that name 
ppears to be a Chinese plant with villous capsules, while the 
Campanula ceilanica of Seba, from whom Linneus borrowed 
the name, appears perfectly distinct from either; and, if really 
from Ceylon, may be referred to L. radicans, Wall., although it 
has more the habit of some Cape species.—ARN.
