448 ERICACEAE. Campanula. 



2. C. Scouleri, Hook. A foot or so high, glabrous or slightly pubescent : stems 

 slender, branching, spreading, paniculately several-flowered : leaves generally all 

 sharply serrate and acuminate, mostly tapering below into a petiole, the lower ovate 

 and sometimes almost entire, the upper ovate-lanceolate, or the uppermost nar- 

 rower : flowers long-pedicelled : calyx-lobes slender-subulate, a little shorter than 

 the open campanulate 5-cleft corolla, the lobes of which are ovate-oblong : style 

 exserted. — Hook. Fl. t. 125. 



Indian Valley, Plumas Co. (Lemmon) to Oregon and British Columbia. A broad-leaved form. 

 Corolla 4 lines long, cdeft to rather below the middle, the bud oblong. 



3. C. prenanthoid.es, Durand. A foot or two high, roughish-pubescent or 

 glabrous : stems clustered, rather simple, racemosely or paniculately several-flow- 

 ered : leaves very sharply and mostly coarsely serrate, ovate-oblong or lanceolate, 

 acute ; those of the stem mostly sessile, or the lower short-petioled : pedicels shorter 

 than the flower : calyx-lobes slender-subulate, usually much shorter than the corolla, 

 the narrowly lanceolate widely spreading lobes of which are 2 to 4 times the length 

 of the tube : style long-exserted. — PL Pratten. in Jour. Acad. Pliilad. n. ser.

 Acad. ii. 5. C. Roczli, Kegel, Animad. PL Hort. Petrop. 1872, 6. 



In redwoods, from Santa Craz to Mendocino Co., and through the foot-hills up to Sierra Valley. 

 Corolla 5 to 8 lines long, narrow, cylindrical before exjiansion. Capsule with broad and retuse 

 base and 5 salient ril is. 



4. C. linnaeifolia, Gray, 1. c. Glabrous, but margins of leaves and angles of 

 stem retrorsely hispid-scabrous : stems weak, a span or two high, simple, or corym- 

 bose at summit, single- or few-floM^ered : leaves oval or ovate-oblong, mostly obtnse, 

 crenate, all but the lowest sessile : peduncle as long as the flower : calyx-lobes 

 broadly lanceolate, acute, about half the length of the bell-shaped corolla, the lobes 

 of which about equal the tube and are commonly retrorsely hispid-ciliate : style 

 included. — Wahlenhergia Calif ornica, Kellogg, Proc. Calif. Acad. ii. 158, f. 49, 

 judging from the figure. 



In swamps at Noyo, Mendocino Co., Bolandcr. Leaves 4 to 9 lines long. Corolla half an 

 inch long. A delicate and peculiar species. 



C. UNiFLOUA, Linn., a very low one-flowered species, with narrow leaves, extends from the 

 arctic regions along the higher Rocky Mountains to Colorado, and to those of Utah at 11,000 feet : 

 it may occur on the higher summits of the Sierra Nevada. 



Order LIV. ERICACE.ffi. 



Woody plants, or in the later suborders perennial herbs, with symmetrical and 

 mostly regular flowers ; the stamens as many or twice as many as the petals or lobes 

 of the corolla, and inserted with, but hardly ever upon it ; the anthers 2-celled, and 

 the cells opening by a terminal pore or chink ; the pollen of 4 united grains (except 

 in MonotTopea;) ; the ovary with as many cells as the divisions of the corolla or 

 calyx ; the seeds small, and with small or minute embryo in copious albumen. 

 Corolla generally gamopetalous, sometimes of distinct petals, imbricated or rarely 

 convolute or valvate in the bud, the insertion and that of the stamens liypogynous, 

 or when the calyx is adnate epigynous, around an annular disk. Style single : 

 stigma not rarely girt with a naked ring. Ovary with as many cells as the petals 

 or rarely one or two fewer : the placentse in the axis, with one exception. Ovules 

 anatropous. Leaves simple, commonly alternate, in some opposite, rarely in whorls, 

 articulated with the stem, destitute of stipules. 



A large and important order, of wide distribution, very sparingly represented in California, 

 but it claims several of the most striking shrubs. Although generally inert, and the fruit when
