Cyananthus.'] LXXX. CAMPANULACE^. (C. B. Clarke.) 435 



scarcely ~ in., ellipsoid. This species by its inflated fruiting-calyx and minute seeds 

 differs considerably from all the preceding species, and approaches the next section. 



* Hoot annual ; stems branched, lateral branches often flowering. 



6. C. inflatus, H.f. $ T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 21 ; stem procumbent 

 loosely branched, leaves petioled round, flowers subsessile, calyx in fruit globose- 

 conic. 



ALPINE SIKKIM ; alt. 11-16,000 ft, general. BHOTAN; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 

 3434). 



Stems 6-30 in., with long branches, patently pilose or at length glabrate. Leaves 

 \ in. diam., margin more or less sinuate, hairy on both surfaces or nearly glabrous ; 

 petiole ^- in. Calyx ^ in., ovate, lobed less than ^ its length, hairy ; in fruit much 

 widened at the base, membranous, often conspicuously nerved, ultimately nearly gla- 

 brous. Corolla ^ in., tubular, hardly widened at the mouth. Capsule |-| in., oblong- 

 conic; valves often far exceeding the narrow calyx-mouth. Seeds scarcely ^ in., 

 ellipsoid. 



7. C. Hookeri, Clarke ; stems ascending rigid with short lateral flower- 

 ing branches, leaves petioled ovate, calyx in fruit ellipsoid closely embracing 

 the capsule. Cyananthus sp. n. 6, H.f. $ T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 21. 



EAST NIPAL; Wallanchoon, alt. 13,000 ft,, J. D. H. 



Stems 3-8 in. (or more), many from one root, wiry, ultimately glabrescent; lateral 

 branches ^-1 in. Leaves ^-\ in., hirsute; petiole - in. Calyx in fruit }-\ by 

 in., patently fulvous-hirsute, lobed acutely half its length. Capsule \ by $ in., ellip- 

 soid, 3-5 (mostly 4-) valved, included in the calyx. Seeds ~ in., ellipsoid. The 

 specimens are in ripe fruit only, but the species is evidently distinct from all the 

 others ; the calyx and capsule are very much smaller. 



8. CAMFANUMJEA, Blume. 



Perennial herbs ; root tuberous ; stem twining or rambling with long straight 

 branches. Leaves opposite or alternate, short- or long-petioled, entire crenate 

 or serrate. Flowers peduncled, solitary, lateral or terminal. Calyx inferior or 

 superior ; lobes 4-G, long, broad or narrow, persistent. Corolla epigynous, 

 campanulate, white with a short tube, or lurid large with a long tube ; lobes 

 4-6. Stamens 4-6, inserted round the base of the corolla-tube. Ovary 4-6- 

 celled; style cylindric, stigma of 4-6 short lobes. Fruit indehiscent, truncate. 

 Seeds very many, small, ellipsoid. Species 5-6, Himalaya, Malaya, S. China, 



SECT. I. Eucampanumaea. Stem twining; inflorescence lateral. 

 Calyx-lobes broad, herbaceous. Corolla campanulate, large, lurid purple. Seeds 

 ellipsoid, prominently reticulated. Differs from Codonopsis only in the baccate 

 truncate fruit.

 nearly free from the hemispheric berry. DC. Prodr. vii. 423 ; FL des Serres, t.
