with pallid fls. is rarer. Var. Wflsonii, Hort. (C. Wil- 

 sonii, Hort.), is a hybrid of var. turbinata and C. pulla, 

 with the large fls. of the former and the handsome dark 

 foliage of the latter: it is compact, dwarf, and small, 

 ovate, very hairy Ivs., with crenate-serrate margin. 

 Gn. 60, p. 219. Var. haylodgensis, Hort. (C. hay- 

 lodgensis, Hort.), is a garden hybrid, probably between 

 C. carpatica and C. csespitosa. Raised by Anderson 

 Henry, Hay Lodge, Edinburgh. Height 6-9 in.: root- 

 Ivs. tufted, roundish cordate, slightly dentate; st.-lvs. 

 light green, ovate-cordate, conspicuously toothed: fls. 

 light blue, bell-shaped, few, at the ends of sts. Var. 

 pelviformis, Hort., from Crete, has very large, pale 

 lilac, almost saucer-shaped fls. R.H. 1882, p. 509. G.C. 

 III. 44:64. Var. Hendersonii, Hort., is often referred 

 to var. turbinata, but is more robust; there is doubt as 

 to its origin, C. pyramidalis or C. alliarisefolia possibly 

 having played some part in it: Ivs. ovate and ovate- 

 cordate, \Yz in. long, Min. broad, slightly hairy on 

 both sides, folded upwards, serrate; petioles 1-13^2 m - 

 long: fls. dark blue, 1^-2 in. wide, in short, 6-9-fld. 

 racemes. G.W. 8, p. 65; 14, p. 581. Var. riverslea, Hort. 

 Fls. dark blue, 2-3 in. across: sts. 12-15 in. long but 

 spreading; parts of corolla often 6 or 7. G.M. 43:627. 

 Var. compacta, Hort., is a condensed dwarf form. C. 

 Stdnsfieldii, Hort., is supposed to be a hybrid between C. 

 carpatica and C. Waldsteiniana (No. 31). This species 

 is very variable in height and in shape of fls. 



DD. Style exserted. 



40. isophylla, Moretti (C. floribunda, Viv.) . Perennial : 

 st. suberect: Ivs. all of same form, petiolate, roundish 

 cordate, crenate-dentate: calyx-lobes acuminate, half 

 shorter than the broadly bell-shaped or saucer-shaped 

 corolla; fls. pale blue, 1 in. or more wide, corymbose; 

 style exserted: caps. ovoid. Italy. B.M.5745. Gn. 49, p. 

 483; 48, p. 297. A desirable 

 basket or rock plant in sun or 

 half shade. The white form, Var. 

 alba, is most excel- 

 lent: free-flower- 

 ing. C. Mayii, 

 Hort., is supposed 

 to be a derivative 

 of this species: Ivs. 

 soft and woolly. 

 Choice. 



BBS. Fls. bell-shaped. 



c. Style exserted. 

 41. Scoilleri, Hook. 

 Perennial, 3-12 in.: st. 

 simple or branched: 

 Ivs. acutely serrate, 

 somewhat hirsute; 

 lower ones ovate-acute, 

 petioled; middle ones 

 ovate - lanceolate ; up- 

 per linear - lanceolate, 

 sessile; calyx-lobes awl- 

 shaped, erect, one-third 

 shorter than the co- 

 rolla: fls. pale blue, 

 racemose, or more or 

 less panicled; style 

 exserted: caps, ovoid. 

 N. Calif, to Puget 

 Sound. The capsular 

 valves are a little 

 above the middle, while 

 in C. carpatica and C. persicifolia they are near the 

 apex. 



cc. Style not exserted. 

 D. Color dark purple. 



42. pulla, Linn. Fig. 770. Perennial, 3-8 in., tufted 

 or in clumps, showy: st. normally 1-fld.: Ivs. glabrous, 



772. Campanula 

 rotundifolia var. sol- 

 danellseflora. 



771. Campanula rotundifolia. (XI) 



crenulate-dentate; lower ones short-petioled, ovate- 

 rotund; upper sessile, ovate-acute: calyx-lobes long- 

 acuminate, erect, a half shorter than the bell-shaped, 

 nodding corolla. Mts. of Austria, 4,000-6,000 ft. In 

 B.M. 2492 the calyx-lobes are short-acuminate, a 

 sixth as long as the corolla. L. 

 B.C. 6:554. Gn. 63, p. 440. C. 

 puttoldes, Hort., is a supposed 

 hybrid between C. pulla and C. 

 turbinata, with habit of former: 5 

 in. : fls. glistening purple-blue. Gn. 

 66, p. 203. 



DD. Color not dark purple, but violet 

 or blue (varying to white.) 



43. drabifdlia, Sibth. & Smith 

 (C. dttica, Boiss.). Annual, hispid, 

 3-4 in. : lower Ivs. oblong or ellip- 

 tic, dentate, tapering into a 

 petiole: fls. large, blue and lighter 

 on the tube, bell-shaped, on fork- 

 ing sts. Greece. 



44. rotundif61ia, Linn. HARE- 

 BELL. HAIRBELL. BLUE BELLS 

 OF SCOTLAND. Fig. 771. Peren- 

 nial, 6-12 in.: root-lvs. petiolate, 

 orbicular or cordate, crenate-den- 

 tate: st.-lvs. linear or lanceolate, 

 usually entire: calyx-lobes awl- 

 shaped, erect, a third shorter than 

 the bell-shaped bright blue cor- 

 olla; fl.-buds erect. Eu., Siberia, 

 N. Amer. Gn. 53:42; 62, p. 59. 

 Gn. M. 14:10. This is one of 

 the most cosmopolitan of all 



campanulas, and the true harebell or bluebell of litera- 

 ture. In the wild it is usually slenderer and taller than 

 in the garden. In shady woods it often grows 2 ft. high. 

 The type has a white-fld. variety which is much less 

 popular, but G.C. 1861:698 shows an excellent pot- 

 plant of it. Var. alaskana, .Gray. Dwarfer, leafy to the 

 top: radical Ivs. cordate, lowest st.-lvs. ovate and the 

 upper ones becoming lanceolate: calyx-lobes attenuate, 

 becoming deflexed; corolla ^2-1^2 in. long. Alaska. 

 Var. arctica, Lange. Rigid, 1- to few-fld.: corolla 1 in. 

 long, the calyx-lobes very slender and soon spreading 

 or deflexing. Canada north. Var. velutina, DC. Herbage 

 whitish pubescent. Var. Hostii, Hort. (C. Hbstii, 

 Baumg.), has larger fls. than the type and stouter sts. 

 The lower st.-lvs. are lanceolate, remotely dentate, the 

 upper linear entire: calyx-lobes longer than in the type, 

 a half shorter than the corolla. The white-fld. form is 

 not so vigorous. |G. 5:207. The most pronounced 

 variant is var. soldanellaefldra, Hort. (C. soldanella, 

 Hort.). Fig. 772. With semi-double blue fls. split to 

 the base into about 25 divisions. F.S. 18:1880. Gn. 

 60, p. 162. This curious variation is unique in the 

 genus. The alpine soldanellas are famous among trav- 

 elers for melting their way through the ice. They have 

 fringed blue fls. The name C. rotundifolia seems singu- 

 larly inappropriate until one finds the root-lvs. in 

 early spring. C. stenocodon, Boiss. & Reut., by some 

 referred to C. rotundifolia, is more slender and with nar- 

 rower st.-lvs.: fls. long and narrow, tubular, rich lilac- 

 purple. Alps. 



45. Scheftchzeri, Vill. (C. linifolia, Willd.). Peren- 

 nial, 4-12 in.: st. 1-4-fld., usually 1-fld.: root-lvs. 

 roundish, ovate, or cordate; st.-lvs. linear or narrowly 

 lanceolate, sessile, denticulate, the lowest st.-lvs. 

 spatulate : calyx-lobes slender, linear-awl-shaped, nearly 

 as long as the bell-shaped dark blue corolla. Alpine 

 and subarctic regions of Newfoundland, Labrador, 

 Alaska, and Rocky Mts. to Colo., also in Eu. and 

 N. Asia. F.S. 21:2205, not L.B.C. 5:485, which De- 

 Candolle states is C. rotundifolia. Var. alba, Hort. 

 Fls. white. Gn. 60, p. 164. The st.-lvs. of C. Scheuch-
