CAMPANULACE,C 369 



wires of stems recalls pusilla but it is altogether slighter 

 in build, and the foliage narrower and more linear. 

 2000-2800 m. A hater of lime. 



C. thyrsoides (PI. LXV1). One of the gems of alpine 

 campanulas. Leaves woolly, in broad rosettes ; from the 

 centre around the stiff, hollow, thick scape, rise a compact 

 spike of very many, yellow, flagrant flowers with a hairy 

 corolla. July-August. Rocks of the limestone Alps and 

 Jura. To be grown in deep soil, rich in humus, and 

 exposed to the sun. The plant dies after flowering, but 

 produces self-sown seedlings freely. C. spicata in a 

 granitic counterpart with blue flowers.
