CAMPANULA 



CAMPSIDIUM 



zeri are distinctly serrate, while in C. rotundifolia they 

 are entire; the fl.-buds nod in the former, but are erect 

 in the latter. The calyx-lobes are relatively longer in 

 C. Scheuchzeri, and perhaps the bell is deeper. 



46. caespitdsa, Scop. (C. pumila, Curt. C. pusilla, 

 Hsenk.). Perennial, 4-6 in.: root-lvs. tufted, short- 

 petioled, ovate, glandular-dentate, shining: calyx- 

 lobes linear, erect, a third shorter than the bell-shaped 

 corolla: fls. nodding, blue; pollen violet-colored. B.M. 

 512. Gn. 43:24; 48, p. 297; 60, p. 161. G. 25:307. 

 R.H. 1908, p. 223. Dwarf er than C. rotundifolia, with 

 root-lvs. never reniform, shorter-petioled, and lasting 

 until after fls. have gone. Perennial, quickly forms a 

 dense mat, and blooming from June till Oct. The 

 European trade catalogues usually offer C. csespitosa 

 and C. pusilla separately, and doubtless plants of dis- 

 tinct horticultural value are passing under these names, 

 but there seem to be no sufficient botanical characters 

 to distinguish them. Correvon says that C. pusilla 

 differs from C. csespitosa only by its less stoloniferous 

 character. Var. alba, Hort., has white fls. G.C. Ill, 

 48:96. Gn. 72, p. 143; 75, p. 368. G.M. 54:466. Var. 

 pallida, Hort., has pale blue fls. G.M. 53 : 612. 



47. excisa, Schleich. Perennial, glabrous, height 4-5 

 in.: sts. slender, 1-fld.: root-lvs. spatulate; upper Ivs. 

 linear; calyx-lobes bristly, spreading, at length reflexed, 

 a third shorter than the bell-shaped corolla: fls. pale 

 blue, divided to about half their depth, with a round 

 hole at the base of each sinus, which easily distinguishes 

 it from C. pulla and all other campanulas. Rare in 

 Alps. B.M. 7358. L.B.C. 6:561. Gn. 60, p. 64. A 

 rare rock-plant. Likes cool, moist air, and not too full 

 exposure to sun. 



BBBB. Fls. tubular, often long and narrow. 



48. Zoysii, Wulf. Perennial, 3-4 in.: plant tufted, 

 glabrous: sts. few-fld. : root-lvs. entire, crowded, petio- 

 late, ovate-obovate, obtuse; st.-lvs. obovate-lanceolate 

 and linear: peduncles 1-fld., terminal, rarely axillary; 

 fls. azure-blue, large for the plant, terminated by a 

 stellar process before expansion; calyx-lobes linear, 

 awl-shaped, spreading, a fourth shorter than the 

 corolla; corolla long-cylindrical, constricted at the 

 apex, wider at the base, sharply angled, pale blue. 

 Austrian Alps, 6,000-8,000 ft. Gn. 8, p. 173. G.C. III. 

 20:183; 38:228. -A rare and abnormal species. 



49. Erinus, Linn. Annual: plant hispid: height 

 3-9 in.: Ivs. small, glossy, ^-%in. broad, cor- 

 date, deeply cut, the pointed lobes conspicuous: fls. 

 sessile, pale blue with a light center, tubular, %in. 

 broad, with acute narrow lobes; style long, conspicuous, 

 colored like corolla: racemes long, semi-prostrate, 

 10-12-fld. Medit. Rare, short-lived rock-plant; also 

 for edgings and pots. 



C. abietina, Griseb. Rare tufted rockery plant, with slender, 

 wiry sts. 9-15 in. high: fls. light blue, in loose branching spikes.

CAMPANUM^)A (variant of Campanula). Cam- 

 panulaceae. Twining or loose-growing perennial herbs, 

 with rhizomes or tubers, rarely grown in .greenhouses. 

 Lvs. mostly opposite, simple and often cordate, 

 petioled: fls. yellowish or greenish, broadly bell-shaped, 

 . 4-^6-lobed: fr. a berry. Five species occur in the 

 Himalayan and E. Asian region and the Malay Archi- 

 pelago. C. javdnica, Blume, and C. inflata, Clarke, both 

 with yellowish brown-veined fls. are mentioned in 

 gardening literature: the fls. are about IJ^in.; in the 

 former the calyx is nearly free from the berry, which is 

 hemispherical; in the latter the calyx is adnate to the 

 berry, which is ellipsoidal; both are twiners. C. grdcilis, 

 Hort., is of the genus Leptocodon, and C. lanceolata, 

 Sieb. & Zucc., is a Codonopsis. 



CAMPH6RA: Cinnamomum. 

 CAMPION: Silene. 



CAMPSIDIUM (alluding to its similarity to Camp- 

 sis}. Bignoniaceas. Ornamental vines grown for their 

 bright orange flowers and also for their handsome 

 evergreen finely pinnate foliage. 



Evergreen shrubs, high-climbing, without tendrils 

 and without rootlets, with odd-pinnate, opposite Ivs. 

 and tubular, orange, slender-pedicelled fls. in terminal, 

 loose and short racemes: calyx turbinate, 5-toothed, 

 glandless; corolla tubular, slightly ventricose, straight, 

 with 5 short equal lobes; stamens, 4, the 2 longer with 

 the anthers exserted; anther-sacs parallel^ disk cupular, 

 flat: fr. a narrow caps, with many winged seeds. Two 

 species in Chile and in the Fiji Isls. 



They are adapted only for subtropical regions and do 

 not seem to bloom readily, but even without flowers they 

 are worth planting for their foliage alone. In Old World 

 gardens, they are sometimes cultivated as stove plants, 

 but C. valdivianum, judging from its habitat, might do 

 better in the cool greenhouse. Propagated by greenwood 

 cuttings under glass. For further culture, see Campsis. 



Campsidium filidfolium, from the Fiji Islands, has 

 never flowered in the writer's garden (in Florida) and 

 is cut down by frost almost every winter, but it is a 

 strong grower and worth planting for the foliage alone. 

 C. valdivianum has proved to be a very poor grower 

 and is very difficult to keep in health for any length of 

 time. (H. Nehrling.) 



valdivianum, Seem. (C. chilense, Reissek & Seem. 

 Tecoma valdiviana, Phil.). Climbing, to 50 ft. : branches 

 angular, glabrous : Ivs. glabrous, 4-6 in. long; If ts. usually 

 11-13, sessile, elliptic-oblong, %-lH in. long, serrate near 

 the apex or almost entire: racemes pendulous, 6-10-fld.;
