CAMPANULA 



It is dwarf er, imich branched, with long, 

 ^. and pale bluish tp violet fls. See Mottefs 

 of Nicholson, Diet. Gard. Var. div^rgens, 



Willd., has larger fls. and broader Ivs. than the type. 



G.C. III. 16:597. C. Sibirica usually does best when 



treated as a biennial. 



BB. Calyx without appendages. 



c. Pis. very wide-spreading, i.e., rotate, wheel-shaped, 



28. Waldsteiniina, Ro.in. \ s, lu.lt. Perennial: 

 height 4-C in.: stems rigid. -I.iIumuv : Ivs. fleshy, ses- 

 sile, gray-green, lanceolau-. sli^litly s, ir;iti--dentate, the 

 lower obtuse, the upper long-acuniinate : calyx lobes 

 awl-shaped, spreading or recurved, one-fourth shorter 

 than the corolla : fls. 5-9 in a corymbose raceme IH in. 

 long, % in. wide, pale purplish blue ; corolla rotate, al- 

 most starlike, with a dark spot in the throat : pistil 

 large, white, twice the length of the corolla, with a yel-

 date, obtusely dentate, or erenately lobed ; stem-lvs. 

 smaller, scattered, the uppermost ovate-lanceolate : fls. 

 pale purplish blue with a white center, lii in. wide, in 

 loose corymbs ; calyx lobes linear-lanceolate, acumi- 

 nate, erect, almost equaling the corolla; style exserted: 

 capsule ovoid. Italy. B.M. 6501. P.M. 11:25. Gn. 8, 

 p. 174, and 47, p. 278. Var. hirstlta, DC, is a hairier 

 form.— This is the best species for hanging 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. Garganiea. 



30. Garginioa, Tenore. Height 3-6 in. : stem diffuse: 

 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 corolla. Mt. Gargano 

 inltaly. B.R. 21:1768. Gn. 48, p. 295, and 43; p. 25. Var. 

 hirsata, Hort., is a hairier form. Gn. 46, p. 253, and 48, 

 p. 297.— "Owing to the pendent character of its flower- 

 ing branches, its proper place is against a rocky ledge, 

 over which its masses of flowers may hang."— >/. C 

 Niven. Half-shaded position. Prop, by cuttings or by 

 division. 



EE. Habit not trailing or pendulous. 



31. Elatlnes, Linn. Perennial, more or less pubescent: 

 height 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 

 corolla : style exserted. Piedmont. — Rare rock plant for 

 light, stony soil. 



32. FoTtensclilagi^na, Roem. & Schult. (C. miirdlis. 

 Port.). Height 6-8 in.: stems somewhat erect : Ivs. all 

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

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

 shorter than the infundibuliform corolla : fls. racemose. 

 Dalmatia.— Allied to 0. Garganiea, but the corolla not 

 so deeply 5-cut. Little known. For conflicting descrip- 

 tions, see Gn. 8, p. 173, and 48, p. 297. 



D. Height f-5 in. 

 33. EMnerii, Perpenti. Height 2-3 in. : stems suberect, 

 branching; branches 1-3-fld. : Ivs. subsessile, ovate, dis- 

 tantly serrate, the lower smaller and obovate: calyx tube 

 obconieal, the lobes long-acuminate, erect, half shorter 

 than the broadly infundibuliform corolla: fls. large, soli- 

 tary, erect, dark purplish blue ; style short, not exserted : 

 capsule obovate. Mts. near Lake Como. P.S. 18:1908.- 

 One of the choicest rock plants, but somewhat rare. 

 Several forms of the hybrid Campanula G. P. Wilson 

 are often cult, under this name, but their Ivs. are lighter
