Codonopsls.'] LXXX. CAMPANULACBJS. (C. B. Clarke.) 433 



Calyx-lobes \ by ^ in., somewhat distant, minutely pubescent. Corolla 1 in. long, 

 tube \ in. diam., mouth in. diam. Capsule subhemispheric. This should perhaps 

 be removed to Leptocodon. 



9. C. foetens, //. /. $ T. in 'Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 16 ; leaves small ovate 

 or reniform pilose, peduncles long, calyx-lobes elliptic-oblong, corolla globose- 

 campanulate. 



ALPINE SIKKIM; Samdong, Lachen, and Kangra Lama, alt. 14-16,000 ft.,J. D. H. 



Closely resembling C. thalictrifolia except as to the corolla. Stems 6 in., flexuose. 

 Leaves ^-^ in. diam. Peduncles 3-6 in., terminal. Calyx-lobes ^ by ~ in., japproxi- 

 mate at base, minutely pilose. Corolla 1 by f in. Capsule depressed obconic, in. 

 broad ; beak nearly ^ in. long, more than double the length of the portion of the cap- 

 sule below it. Seeds ellipsoid, not glistening. Separated doubtingly from C. thalic- 

 trifoUa by H. f. & T., but the corolla is very different, and the calyx-teeth much 

 broader at the base. It scarcely differs from C. ovata by the smaller leaves, more 

 globose corolla (which from the dried example seems to have been lurid purple, not 

 sky-blue), and smaller seeds. 



10. C. ovata, Benth. in Eoyle 111. 253, t. 69, fig. 3 ; leaves ovate hairy on 

 both surfaces, peduncles long, calyx-lobes elliptic-oblong, corolla broadly cam- 

 panulate, seeds narrowly ellipsoid ^ in. long. Liiidl. in Gard. Chron. 1856, 468, 

 withfy.', H.f. 8f T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 15. Wahlenbergia Roylei, DC.

WESTERN HIMALAYA; from Kashmir to Gurwhal, alt. 8-12,000 ft., common. 



Root woody, fusiform, large. Stem 6-12 in., decumbent, then erect. Leaves -| 

 by - in., alternate and opposite, obtuse or acute ; petiole \-\ in. Peduncles 3-6 in., 

 terminal. Calyx-lobes 3 by i in., approximate at base, minutely pilose. Corolla 1-ly 

 by ^-f in., widened upwards, sky-blue. Capsule depressed obconic, ^- in. broad ; 

 beak |- in. long. Seeds much longer than those of C. fcetens, not glistening. C. clema- 

 tidea, Schrenck (Glossocomia clematidea, Fisch. in Regel Gartenfl. 1856, 226, t. 167, 

 fig. -2), has larger, subglabrous leaves, but is probably only a form of C. ovata. 



7. CYANANTHUS, Wall. 



Annual or perennial herbs. Leaves alternate, entire or lobed. Flowers ter- 

 minal, blue, peduncled or sessile. Calyx nearly inferior, usually shaggy when 

 young ; tube ovate or cylindric ; lobes 5, lanceolate or triangular. Corolla 

 tubular or funnel-shaped ; lobes 5, induplicate-valvate. Stamens free from the 

 corolla ; anthers ovate, adpressed round the base of the style, free or coherent. 

 Ovary nearly superior, conoid, tapering upwards, 3-5-celled ; style cylindric from 

 a conic base, stigma 3-5-lobed lobes short, soon recurved. Capsule nearly or 

 quite included in the persistent calyx-tube, ovoid-conoid, loculicidally 5-4- 

 (rarely 3-) valved from the apex. Seeds minute, narrowly oblong-ellipsoid or 

 shortly ellipsoid, smooth, brown ; testa not (or most obscurely) reticulated. 

 Species 7, all Himalayan. 



* Root perennial ; stems subsimple, \-flowered, the lateral branches few, weakj 

 not flowering. 



1. C. lobatus, Wall. Cat. 1473 ; leaves subpetioled obovate-oblong lobed 

 often 3-fingered sparingly pilose, peduncles solitary and calyx with black spread- 

 ing hairs. Benth. in Royle III. 309, t. 69, fig. 1*; Bot. Key. 1847, t. 6; Regel
