430 LXXX. CAMPANULACEJJ. (C. B. Clarke.) [Waldenlergia. 



Corolla -$ in., campanulate, deeply divided into broad oblong lobes, blue. Capsule 

 \ in., tapering into the peduncle. Seeds ellipsoid, compressed, sublenticular, smooth. 

 W. agrestis is nearly glabrous with linear leaves '; W. indica has even the uppermost 

 leaves very hairy ; W. dehiscens is a weak small annual with broad obovate petioled 

 thin leaves ; W. marginata has the leaves with white thickened margins and a rigid 

 habit. Some examples (in flower) are of the first year ; other examples have a very 

 woody base whence spring numerous annual shoots. 



2. W. peduncularis, //. /. # T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 22 ; glabrous, 

 leaves elliptic subentire, peduncles solitary axillary leaf-opposed, calyx-teeth 

 oblong herbaceous lax in fruit. Campanula ? peduucularis, Wall. Cat. 7139 ; 

 A. DC. Prodr. vii. 483. 



KUMAON; BlinJcworth ; Chaur, alt. 6700 ft., Strachey $ Winterloitom. 



Stems 3-8 in., weak, little divided. Leaves opposite or (especially the upper) alter- 

 nate, 3~| by 5- in., shortly petioled. Peduncles %-2 in. Corolla ^ in., divided nearly to 

 the base into narrow-oblong segments. Filaments dilated, pilose below. Stigmas 3, 

 linear-oblong. Capsule in., tapering into the peduncle. Calyx-teeth ^- in., oblong 

 from a triangular base. Seeds ellipsoid, slightly compressed, smooth. The leaves 

 beneath and the calyx-tube are somewhat glaiicous. 



3. W. 1 dicentrifolia, Clarke ; glabrous, leaves ovate subentire, pe- 

 duncles terminal, calyx-teeth linear erect on the fruit. 



SIKKIM; Phulloot, alt. 11,000 ft., Clarke. 



Erect, 1 ft., much and patently branched. Leaves ^-4 in. diam., glaucous beneath ; 

 petiole in. Peduncles 1 in., thickened upwards in fruit. Calyx-teeth \-^ by ~ in. 

 Stamens 5, free ; filaments dilated at the base. Capsule \ by ^ in., horizontal or 

 cernuous, elongate-obconic, tapering into the peduncle, 3-celled, prominently 10-ribbed; 

 conical superior beak \ in., loculicidally 3-valved. Seeds oblong-ellipsoid much com- 

 pressed, without a trace of the reticulation of the testa seen in Codonopsis. Tho 

 examples are good, but in late fruit ; the corolla appears to have been lobed nearly to 

 the base. The species is exceedingly like Codonopsis thalictrifolia, "Wall., and the long 

 superior conical beak of the capsule also is very like Codonopsis, but the elongate 

 obconic capsule and the seeds are very different. 



5. X.EFTOCODON, H.f. $ T. (not of Sond,}. 



A slender, glabrous twiner. Leaves alternate and opposite, loug-petioled, 

 ovate, membranous. Peduncles terminal and leaf-opposed, slender, 1-flowered. 

 Calyx ^-inferior ; limb 5-lobed to the base. Corolla tubular, curved, inflated 

 upwards, truncate, shortly 5-lobed, blue. Stamens 5, free from the corolla, 

 alternate with 5 clavate epigynous glands ; filaments dilated at the base ; 

 anthers oblong, free. Ovary ^-inferior, obconic, 3-celled, conical upwards. 

 Style long, cylindric ; stigma ovate, hairy, of 3 suberect oblong lobes. Capsule 

 a double cone ; the upper free cone elongate, loculicidally 3-valved. Seeds few, 

 oblong-ellipsoid, somewhat compressed, smooth, shining black.
