 1% in. long, and as broad across the mouth, tin- laifrist 

 for the size of the plant of any Campanula. A very 

 local species, found only in the Alps of Piedmont and 

 Savoy. B. M. 6588. -No white-fld. form is known. Int. 

 into Eng. about 1879 by G. Maw. "It is an excellent 

 rock-plant, and, though requiring plenty of moisture, it 

 should have a well-drained position, and is therefore 

 best grown in a narrow crevice filled with sandy loam 

 and an abundance of _small stones and grit."— J". W.

 parently no purple. Readily told from C.Allionii by 

 the different colored, bearded and smaller fls., which 

 are rarely borne singly, and by the dense, soft hairs of 

 the stem. Commonest species in the Alps. "In the 

 rock-garden it should be grown in poor, stony soil, as it 

 is apt to become somewhat coarse when grown in rich 

 soil."-/". W. Meyer.
