CAMPANULA 



CAMPANULA

more plainly in the dried specimen: like C. alliar- 

 isefolia. Perennial, 1 ft., with long and loose hairs: 

 upper Ivs. nearly sessile, and more sharply toothed 

 than the lower: calyx-lobes one-third as long as the 

 corolla, longer, looser and hairier than in C. alliarise- 

 folia, and the margins much more recurved: peduncle 

 1-4-fld.; fls. nodding; corolla cylindrical, 2% in. long, 

 white, spotted within, strongly ribbed. Siberia, Japan. 

 G.C. III. 38, supp. Aug. 26; 42:96. Gn. 73, p. 423; 75, 

 p. 458. G.M. 51 : 781. G. 29:595. C. nobilis has been 

 considered distinct. In F.S. 3:247 the corolla is dark 

 violet without, the limb hairy, while in B.M. 1723 

 (C. punctata) the corolla is white outside and not 

 bearded. In F. S. 6:563 (C. nobilis var. alba) the limb 

 is not bearded and the st. is red, and not hairy. The 

 three pictures show great differences in foliage, pubes- 

 cence and appendages. This is one of the most inter- 

 esting of all campanulas, and is, unfortunately, usually 

 considered more quaint than beautiful. The spotted 

 throat readily separates it from other campanulas. 



BB. Throat of corolla not spotted, 

 c. Sts. commonly 1-fld. 



25. Van Hoilttei, Carr. Perennial, 2 ft. : root-lvs. 

 long-petioled, roundish cordate, more or less lobed; 

 st.-lvs. sessile, oval-lanceolate, irregularly bi-dentate, 

 23^-4 in. long, more or less villous, strongly nerved: 

 fls. usually solitary, nodding at the end of a small 

 branchlet, 2 in. long, half as broad, indigo-blue, or 

 violet; calyx-lobes linear, spreading, 1 in. long. A gar- 

 den hybrid resembling C. punctata. Intro, into France 

 1878 by Thibaut and Keteleer. Var. pallida, Hort., 

 has pale lavender fls. 



26. AlliSnii, Vill. Perennial, 3-5 in.: rootstock 

 slender, creeping underground, sending up sts. at inter- 

 vals of %-l in. : Ivs. few, about 7 on a st., 1-2 in. long, 

 linear-lanceolate, sessile, slightly hairy, entire, midrib 

 distinct, lower ones in a whorl of about 5, upper ones 

 similar but more erect: calyx-lobes lanceolate, half as 

 long as the corolla, the appendages ovate, reflexed, one- 

 third the length of the calyx-lobes; fls. purple, with a 

 rare white variety, only one on a st., inclined or nodding, 

 1 ^2 in- long) and as broad across the mouth, probably 

 the largest for the size of the plant of any campanula. 

 A very local species, found only in the western Alps. 

 B.M. 6588. G.C. III. 52:52. Gn. 60, p. 51. 



cc. Sts. usually several-ftd. 

 D. Margin of corolla bearded. 



27. barb&ta, Linn. Perennial, 6-9 in.: st. pilose: Ivs. 

 villous, entire or nearly so; root-lvs. tufted, lanceolate; 

 st.-lvs. few, ligulate (?): raceme loose, 3-4-fld.; fls. nod- 

 ding, pale blue; calyx appendage ovate, obtuse, half as 

 long as the lobes; corolla bell-shaped, shorter than in 

 C. Allionii, and with a bearded mouth. Alps. L.B.C. 

 8:788. G.C. III. 48: 388. Gn. 48, p. 297. G.W. 12, p. 447. 

 There is a white-fld. form, but apparently no purple. 

 Readily distinguished from C. Allionii by the differ- 

 ent colored, bearded and smaller fls., which are rarely 

 borne singly, and by the dense, soft hairs of the st. 

 Alps, 2,400-6,000 ft., widely distributed; mts. of Nor- 

 way, and the Carpathians. Becomes coarse when grown 

 in rich ground. 



DD. Margin of corolla not bearded. 

 E. Fls. erect. 



28. m611is, Linn. Perennial, velvety gray, 6-8 in.: 

 sts. procumbent, about 2-fld.: root-lvs. tufted, obovate 

 or spatulate; st.-lvs. ovate or rotund: fls. loosely pani- 

 cled ; calyx-lobes lanceolate, erect, half shorter than the 

 glabrous, bell-shaped corolla; appendages minute, 

 shorter than the calyx-tube; corolla erect, dark pur- 



Klish blue or lavender, with a white throat, the tube 

 >ng, segms. short, broad, spreading, acute. Spain, 

 Crete. B.M. 404. Rock or border plant. 



EE. Fls. nodding. 



29. alpina, Jacq. Perennial, 3-8 in.: st. furrowed: 

 Ivs. smaller than in C. barbata, more narrowly lanceo- 

 late, entire, hairy: fls. typically deep blue, bell-shaped, 

 with broader and shorter segms. than in C. barbata; 

 calyx-lobes proportionately very long, surpassing the 

 fl.-bud, and nearly as long as the flower, but widely 

 spreading. Alps of Austria, Lombardy and Transylvania, 

 6,000-7,000 ft. altitude. B.M. 957. J.H. III. 29:5. 

 There is a white-fld. var. The plant has a characteristic 

 shaggy appearance from the hairy Ivs. Easy of cult. 



768. Campanula rapunculoides. ( X H) 



30. sibirica, Linn. (C. Hbhenackeri, Fisch.). Bien- 

 nial or perennial, setaceous-pilose: st. erect, simple, 

 panicled above: Ivs. crenulate; root-lvs. petioled, 

 obovate, obtuse; st.-lvs. lanceolate-acuminate: calyx 

 hairy, the lobes long-acuminate, a third shorter than 

 the corolla; calyx appendages like the lobes but half 

 shorter and reflexed; fls. 25 or more, violet, with a 

 longer and narrower tube than in C. alpina, and longer 

 divisions of the limb. N. Asia, Caucasus, W. Eu. 

 B.M. 659. R.H. 1861:431. The type is rare, but var. 

 eximia, Hort., is somewhat commoner: it is dwarf er, 

 much branched, with long, scabrous Ivs. and pale 

 bluish to violet fls. Var. divergens, Willd., has larger 

 fls. and broader Ivs. than the type. G.C. III. 16:597. 

 C. sibirica usually does best when treated as a biennial. 



AA. Calyx without appendages. 

 B. Fls. very wide-spreading, i.e., rotate, wheel-shaped, 



almost flat, 

 c. Blossoms all erect. 



31. Waldsteiniana, Roem. & Schult. Perennial, 

 4-6 in. : sts. rigid, glabrous : Ivs. fleshy, sessile, gray-green,
