Campanusa Vipauu, H.C. Watson. 
Fruticulosa viscida, foliis imbricatis (seepius in rosulas terminales 
confertis) crassis coriaceis glabris spatulato-oblongis crenatis 
marginibus revolutis, superioribus sparsis lanceolatis subinte- 
gris, floribus racemosis cernuis, lobis calycis brevibus trian- 
gularibus, corolla campanulato-infundibuliformi supra basin 
contracta, stigmatibus oblongis. 
Campanula Vidaliana, H. C. Wats., Ms. (No. 113 of “ Plants 
collected in the Azores, in 1842.”) 
Has. On an insulated rock off the east coast of Flores, between 
Santa Cruz and Ponta Delgada, Capt. Vidal, R.N. 
I was indebted to Capt. Vidal for the very few specimens of 
this remarkable Campanula, distributed with the other plants 
collected by myself in the Azores. Only fragments were ob- 
tained ; and I have seen neither the root, nor the fruit more ad- 
vanced than the flowering stage. Apparently the generic cha- 
racter is that of Campanula, although the leaves and branches 
differ widely from those of all the other species known to me; 
and more recall to mind some species of Saxifraga or Sempervi- 
vum. The branches are dichotomous ; each fork terminating 10 
a rosette of leaves, intermediate in texture between coriaceous 
and succulent, and a similar rosette is sessile between the forks. 
The branch is thickened where these rosettes occur, and ulti- 
mately covered with scales formed by their persistent bases. 
The flower-stalk shoots up from the tuft of leaves, as in species 
of Sempervivum. Several of the flower-buds are abortive, oT 
else developed later and irregularly. Corolla white or cream~- 
colour, shaded with pink externally —H. C. Watson.

most of the figures, is copied from a faithful drawing by Mr. 
Watson.) Ed,
