id. 



C. grandis (large).* /. pale violet-blue, broadly bell-shaped, with 

 large pointed divisions, axillary and alternate, on the upper part 

 of the stem. June. I. sessile, lanceolate, serrated. Stem simple, 

 furrowed, h. 1ft. to 2ft. Siberia, 1842. Borders. There is also 

 a very showy white-flowered variety named alba. 



C. haylodgensls (Hay Lodge), fl. light blue, rather open, bell- 

 shaped, few, at the ends of the stems. August. 1., radical ones 

 tufted, roundish-cordate, with the margins slightly indented ; 

 cauline ones ovate-cordate, conspicuously toothed, light green. 

 h. bin. to 9in. Rockery. This is a hybrid, raised by Mr. Anderson- 

 Henry, Hay Lodge, Edinburgh, probably between C. carpathica 

 and C. pusilla. 



C. hederacea (Ivy-like). See Wahlenbergla hcdcracca. 



C. Hostii (Host's). A synonym of C. rotundifolia IJostii. 



C. isophylla (equal-leaved).* /. numerous, erect, disposed in a 

 corymb ; corolla lilac-blue, with a grey centre, large, salver-

 rockery. SYN. C. floribunda. (B. M. 5745.) 



C. i. alba (white).* /. pure white ; in other respects like the 

 species. It is a charming rockery plant, flowering very freely. 



Fro. 344. FLOWERS OF CAMPANULA LACINIATA. 



C. laciniata (cut-leaved), fl. long-stalked, in lax panicles. Stem 

 erect, branchy, somewhat hairy, h. 1ft. Islands in Grecian 

 Archipelago, 1790. This biennial species is impatient of much 

 moisture during winter, and is therefore best kept in a cold 

 frame. See Fig. 344. 



C. lactiflora (milk-coloured-flowered).* fl. in loose panicles 

 peduncles erect, short, usually three-flowered; corollas erect, 

 milk-coloured, tinged with blue, or quite blue, as in the variety 

 named ccerulea. July to September. I. sessile, ovate-lanceolate 

 acutely serrated. Sterna branched, h. 2ft. to 6ft Caucasus 

 1814. Borders. SYN. C. eeltidifolia. See Fig. 339. (B R 241 ) 



FIG. 345. CAMPANULA LANGSDORFFIANA. 



;. Langsdorffiana (Langsdorffs). /. blue, either solitary or 

 in few-flowered panicles, not unlike those of C. rotundi folia. 

 I. either entire or toothed, h. 3in. to 9in. Mountains of Northern 

 Asia and America. Perennial. See Fig. 345. 



Campanula continued. 



C. latifolia (broad-leaved), fl. disposed in spicate racemes; 

 peduncles erect, one-flowered ; corolla blue, but sometimes white 

 (in the variety alba) campanulately funnel-shaped, large. July. 

 I. large, doubly serrated ; radical ones petiolate, cordate, ovate- 

 oblong ; cauline ones sessile, ovate-acuminated. Stems simple 

 smooth, h. 1ft. to 2ft. Britain. (Sy. En. B. 868.) 



C. L erlooarpa (woolly-fruited). /., tube of calyx very hispid. 

 /. less acuminated. Stem and leaves pilose and pale. Caucasus 

 1823. Borders. 



C. L, macrantha (large-flowered).* /., corollas purplish-blue, 

 larger than those of the type. Stem and leaves rather pilose ; 

 teeth of leaves more distinct. A hybrid. Borders. 



C. Loeffllngli 



branchlets, loosely 



(Ltefflm 



effling's). fl. solitary, terminating the naked 

 panicled, drooping ; corolla blue or violaceous, 



with a deeper-coloured zone beneath the middle, white at the 



base, both inside and out, funnel-shaped. July. I. crenulated ; 



lower ones ovate-reniform ; superior ones ovate, stem-clasping. 



Stem much branched. Annual, h. (An. to 18in. South-west 



Europe, 1818. (3. R, 29, 19.) 



C. Loreyi (Lorey's). A synonym of C. ramositsiina. 

 C. lyrata (lyrate). /. disposed in a long, many-flowered, loose 



raceme ; corolla blue, tubular, with rather pilose nerves. June.

 recurved, small for the size of the plant, hispid on both surfaces, 

 and ciliated with bristles, h. 1ft. to 2ft Taurus Mountains. 

 Annual. Borders. The rigid habit, brwtly, almost prickly, stem 

 and leaves, curious calyx appendages, short gaping corolla, and 

 wonderful stigma, mark this as the most singular Campanula 

 hitherto introduced. See Fig. 346. 



C. Medium (middle-sized).* Canterbury Bells, fl. numerous, 

 large, disposed in racemes ; corolla blue, purple, and white, cam- 

 panulate, inflated, single and double. July. I. sessile, ovate-
