CAMPANULA 



CAMPANULA 



lanceolate, slightly serrate-dentate, the lower obtuse, 

 the upper long-acuminate: calyx-lobes awl-shaped, 

 spreading or recurved, one-fourth shorter than the 

 corolla: fls. 5-9 in a corymbose raceme 1% in. long, 

 in. wide, pale purplish blue; corolla rotate, almost 

 starlike, with a dark spot in the 

 throat; pistil large, white, twice the 

 length of the corolla, with a yellow 

 stigma. S. Austria. Gn. 8, p. 173. 

 G. 18:81. G.W. 12, pp.446, 710. C. 

 Tommasinidna, Hort., is an allied 

 plant, with very wiry growth and 

 pendent pale blue fls. C. Stdnsfieldii, 

 Hort., is a supposed hybrid, perhaps 

 between C. Waldsteiniana and C. car- 

 patica. 



32. ramosissima, Sibth. & Smith 

 (C. Lorei, Poll.). Annual, 1 ft. or less, 

 branching: lower Ivs. obovate and 

 crenate; upper Ivs. narrow, entire: 

 fls. violet with white base and blue 

 intermediate parts, erect on long 

 simple pedicels. Eu. B.M.2581. 

 Var. alba, Hort. Fls. white, 

 cc. Blossoms not all erect. 

 D. Habit trailing or pendulous. 

 33. fragilis, Cyrill. Peren- 

 nial, 46 in. : st. diffuse, trailing: 

 root -Ivs. long-petioled, 

 roundish - cordate, ob- 

 tusely dentate, or cre- 

 nately lobed; st. -Ivs. 

 smaller, scattered, the 

 uppermost ovate-lanceo- 

 late: fls. pale purplish 

 blue with a white center, 

 m - wide, in loose 

 corymbs ; calyx - lobes 

 linear- lanceolate, 

 acuminate, erect, 

 almost equaling 

 the corolla; style 

 exserted: caps'. 

 Italy. B.M. 6504. P.M. 

 11:25. G.C. III. 43:378. Gn. 8, 

 p. 174; 47, p. 278; 63, p. 53. G. 

 18:120. G.W. 2, p. 381. Var. 

 hirsuta, DC., is a hairier form. 

 This is the best species for hang- 

 ing-baskets, window- and veranda- 

 boxes, and for covering large 

 stones in the rockery. Prop, by 

 cuttings in spring, the roots being too fragile to divide 

 well. Not so hardy as C. garganica. 



34. garganica, Tenore. Perennial, 3-6 in.: st. diffuse, 

 with pendent branches: lower Ivs. reniform-cordate, 

 crenate-dentate; upper Ivs. ovate-acute, dentate: 

 raceme lax; peduncles 1-2-fld.; calyx-tube spheroid, the 

 lobes spreading, a third or fourth shorter than the 

 glabrous blue rotate corolla. Mt. Gargano in Italy, 

 and elsewhere. B.R. 1768. Gn. 48, p. 295; 43, p. 25. 

 G.M. 54:664. G.W. 4, p. 255. Var. hirsilta, Hort., is a 

 hairier form. Gn. 46, p. 253; 48, p. 297. Half-shaded 

 position. Prop, by cuttings or by'division. 



DD. Habit not trailing or pendulous. 



35. Elatines, Linn. Perennial, more or less pubes- 

 cent, 5-6 in.: Ivs. cordate, coarsely and acutely den- 

 tate, lower rotund, others ovate-acute: raceme lax; 

 calyx-tube spherical, the lobes spreading, linear-lanceo- 

 late, somewhat unequal, a half shorter than the rotate 

 purplish corolla; style exserted. Piedmont. Gn. 60, 

 p. 64. Rare rock-plant for light, stony soil. 



36. Portenschlagiana, Roem. & Schult. (C. muralis, 

 Port.). Perennial, 6-9 in.: sts. somewhat erect: Ivs. all 



769. Campanula 

 carpatica. (XJi) 



alike petiolate, cordate, roundish, acutely angular-den- 

 tate: calyx- tube spheroid, lobes erect, acuminate, a 

 third shorter than the infundibuliform blue-purple 

 corolla: fls. racemose. Dalmatia. Allied to C. gar- 

 ganica, but the corolla not so deeply 5-cut. Gn. 61, p. 

 225; 72, p. 469. Var. major, Hort. Fls. nearly twice 

 larger than in the type, 13^ in. across, making a large 

 mound of purple-blue. G.C. III. 48:58. Gn. 60, 

 p. Ill; 63, p. 110. G.W. 3, p. 13. 



BB. Fls. broadly bell-shaped, less widely spreading than 

 in B, wider than in BBB (except perhaps in No. 40). 



c. Height 2-3 in. 



37. Rainerii, Perpenti. Perennial, 2-3 in.: sts. 

 suberect, branching: branches 1-3-fld.: Ivs. subsessile, 

 ovate, distantly serrate, the lower smaller and obovate: 

 calyx-tube obconical, the lobes long-acuminate, erect, 

 half shorter than the broadly infundibuliform corolla: 

 fls. large, solitary, erect, dark purplish blue; style 

 short, not exserted: caps, obovate. Mts. N. Italy. 

 F.S. 18:1908. Gn. 60, p. 163. One of the choicest 

 rock-plants, but somewhat rare. Several forms of the 

 hybrid C. Wilsonii are often cult, under this name, but 

 their Ivs. are lighter green and less tomentose than C. 

 Rainerii. Thrives in a well-drained, sunny position. 



cc. Height more than 2-3 in. 

 D. Style not exserted. 



38. TenSrii, Moretti. Perennial, 8-12 in., glabrous: 

 st. ascending or prostrate: Ivs. leathery; root-lvs. long- 

 petioled, ovate, subcordate, irregularly serrate; st.- 

 Ivs. petiolate, ovate-acute, coarsely serrate: calyx-lobes 

 linear-lanceolate, spreading, half as long as the broadly 

 bell-shaped corolla: fls. racemose, blue: caps, spherical. 

 Apennines, near Naples. This is referred by botanists 

 to the Grecian species C. versicolor, which is typically 

 taller, but is kept distinct by Correvon and others. In 

 the garden, C. Tenorii resembles C. pyramidalis in 

 foliage and fl., but is shorter. 



39. carpatica, Jacq. Fig. 769. Perennial, 9-18 in., 

 glabrous: st. branching: lower Ivs. thin, long-petioled, 

 ovate-rotund, cordate, coarsely dentate, undulate; 

 upper ones shorter petioled, ovate-acuminate: pedun- 

 cles long, terminal and axillary, 1-fld.; fls. large, 

 often 13^ in. wide, bright deep blue; calyx-tube obconi- 

 cal, the lobes acute, wide at the base, subdentate- 

 erect, a third or half as long as the broadly bell-shaped 

 corolla; style not exserted: caps, ovoid-cylindrical.

 Var. coelestina, Hort. Fls. sky-blue. Var. alba,

 Hort. (C. turbinata, Schott), is dwarf er, more 

 compact, with fls.' more bell- or top-shaped, and 

 often 2 in. across, purplish blue. It also has larger Ivs. 

 and more decumbent habit. Gn.
