68. Campanula Bellardi. Stem naked, one-flowered; 

 leaves petioled, elliptic-lanceolate, toothed. This very ele- 

 gant plant has a few leaves at the bottom rather erect, on 

 petioles the length of the leaves, and grooved within ; the 

 leaves are drawn to a point at each end, have on each side 

 two or three sharpish teeth, are of a deep green, roughish, 

 rather firm, and not juicy ; the little stem is erect, rather 

 firm, round, smooth, half a finger high; flower erect ; calix 

 smooth, five-cleft beyond the middle ; the segments lanceo- 

 late-linear, not reflected, nor expanded, nor appendicled ; 

 corolla blue. Native of Piedmont : perennial. 



69. Campanula Vesula. One-flowered ; leaves smooth, 

 oval, toothed ; stem almost naked ; calix smooth. Radical 

 leaves very many, petioled, decurrent, acute, shortly toothed,

 lanceolate, not reflex; corolla spreading ; perennial. Native 

 of Piedmont. 



70. Campanula Cespitosa. Radical leaves kidney-form,

blue, half an inch long, and four lines over ; form oval, wider 

 below than at the edge, with three lines on each segment. 

 It grows in dry rocky mountains, flowering at the begin- 

 ning of August : it is perennial. Native of Switzerland, 

 Dauphiny, Carniola, and Piedmont. 



71. Campanula Valdensis. Hirsute: leaves lanceolate, some- 

 times toothletted ; flower solitary, nodding. Root perennial. 

 The root is small, and throws out one or two stems only three 

 inches high, often bending to one side and arched; stem- 

 leaves oval, oblong, linear ; a single flower at the top is deep 

 blue oralmost black, more lengthened out than in the species 

 that most resemble it. Native of Piedmont and Dauphiny. 



72. Campanula Urticifolia. Stem roundish, simple; upper 

 leaves sessile ; spiko one-ranked ; peduncles one-flowered; 

 calices smooth. Root perennial : plant entirely smooth ; 

 stem three feet high, simple, streaked, round ; each axil 

 produces a flower on a short peduncle ; corolla and calix 

 nearly equal. Native of Italy, in woods. 



73. Campanula Alpestris. Stem quite simple, one-flowered ; 

 leaves lanceolate, quite acute, hispid ; corolla bearded ; cap- 

 sales three-celled, covered. Root perennial, creeping ; stems 

 only two or three inches high, having at top a single flower, 

 which hangs down ; root-leaves, which appear the first-year, 

 small, blunt, and almost round, those which come after- 

 wards are longer ; the bottom stem-leaves are still longer, 

 pointed, and a little waved on the edge; they are all rough- 

 ish, and ciliate on the edge with small stiff hairs. It grows 

 on the very high Alps, and on Mount Cenis. 



74. Campanula Nitida; Smooth-leaved Bell-flower. Leaves 

 oblong, crenate, glossy, those on the stem lanceolate, almost 

 entire; corollas campanulate-rotate. This has many stiff 

 oblong leaves coming out from the root on every side, which 

 form a sort of head like those of Houseleek, crenate, having 

 a strong rib, running on their border longitudinally. There 

 is a white and blue flower of this sort in the gardens, but in 

 Holland they have it with a double flower. Irt is a native 

 of North America, and flowers in July. As it does not pro- 

 duce seeds in England, it is propagated by offsets only, 

 which should be taken off in August, that they may get good 

 root before cold weather comes in ; they must be planted in 

 small pots, filled with fresh, light, loamy earth, and placed 

 in the shade until they have taken root ; then they may be 

 put along with other hardy exotic plants ; and in autumn 

 they must be removed into shelter, for in severe winters 

 plants which are exposed are often destroyed, though in 

 mild winters they will live in the open air. 



75. Campanula Prismatocarpus ; Long-Capsuled Bell- 

 flnwer. Capsules linear, two-celled; leaves lanceolate, 

 loosely serrate, very smooth ; stem decumbent. The stems 

 are a little shrubby at the base. It is an annual, and flowers 

 in September. Native of the Cape. 



76. Campanula Fragilis. Steins procumbent; branches 

 directed one way, many-flowered; root-leaves kidney-form, 

 crenate ; calices angular. This is a very beautiful plant, 

 but extremely brittle, abounding in milk, commonly quite 

 smooth, bright green, and lucid, but sometimes lanuginous; 

 it has a handsome head of flowers; the root is perennial, 

 and brown. Native of the kingdom of Naples, especially 

 on the coast of the bays of Salerno and Amalfi. 



77. Campanula Virgata. Branches wand-like ; leaves 

 lanceolate, sharp at both ends, toothed, somewhat rugged ; 

 flowers in pairs, sessile ; corollas deeply parted. Root 

 biennial ; stem upright, streaked, a foot or more in height, 

 scarcely leafy, with spreading branches ; leaves radical, pe- 

 tioled ; flowers remote, commonly two together, blue, with 

 a bracte under them, the length of the germen ; segments of
