Plate 11. 

 Bellllowers and Rampions. 



Family of the Campanulaceae. 



The Alpine members of this family have 

 the following general characters; Flowers 

 regular, with five sepals, a gauiopetalous 5-lobed 

 corolla and 5 stamens; the ovary is below the 

 calyx the style which resembles a cylindrical 

 brush is divided in the upper part in 25 branches 

 that bear stigma-papillae on their inner surface. 

 The transference of the pollen to these papillae 

 is effected by means of honey -sucking insects. 

 Of the Bellflowers figured on this plate only 

 C. barbata and C. Scheuchzeri are found in the 

 North, the former only in Scandinavia. 



Fig. 1 and 2. Rampions (Phyteuma). Corolla 

 with 5 narrow lobes which are connected at 

 their upper ends but separate below (compare 

 plate 5, Fig. 1). 



Fig. 38. Bellflowers (Campanula). Corolla 

 bellshaped, with broad lobes, stamens much 

 broadened at iheir bases, which latter converge 

 so as to form a protection for the nectar. 



Fig. 1. Few-flowered Rampion. Heads with 

 only 5 7 flowers, the leaves invertedeggshaped, 

 not grasslike, stem only 2 4 cm high. 



Turf, from 1800 3300 m (Col St-Theodul) 

 in the Grisons, Ticino, Valais, Glarus. 



Fig. 2. Hemispherical Rampion. Heads 10 

 to 12-flowered, leaves grasslike. 



Meadows, turf, from 1700 3000 m, not on 

 chalky soil. 



Fig. 3. Bearded Bellflower. Easily recog- 

 nised by the long hairs at the edge of the co- 

 rolla and by its light blue corolla. 



Meadows, turf, from 1200 (rarely 900) to 

 2860 m. 



Fig. 4. Bellflower of M. Cenis. Distinguished 

 by the creeping stem which only bears 1 or 

 rarely 2 3 flowers and by the corolla being 

 divided half way down. 



Rocky debris, aretes 2000 3300 m. Absent 

 in the Eastern Alps! Arosa-Rothhorn, Martins- 

 lochpass, Biferten Alps, Sandgrat, Altenoren, 

 Urirothstock, Bernese Oberland, Valais. 



Fig. 5. Dwarf Bellflower. Generally form- 

 ing large close growing tufts with many non- 

 dowering trusses of leaves. Stem 8 15 cm high. 



Rocky debris, alluvium of rivers, sandy 

 places, walls, rocks, up to 2900 m. 



Fig. 6. Scheuchzer's Bellflower. The growth 

 is loosely tufted, usually with a few non- 

 flowering shoots (distinction from 5), flowerbuds 

 hanging down, 15 on each stem. 



Alpine meadows, from about 18003000 m, 

 taking the place of the Blue-bell of the plains 

 (with upright flowerbuds). 



Fig. 7. Rhomboid -leaved Bellflower. The 

 leaves of the stem are numerous and have an 

 oval-rhomboidal shape. Characteristic of the 

 rich meadows of the lower Alps, which are 

 often adorned with thousands of their blue 

 bells: Urserenthal, Evolena, Rheinwald, Davos 

 etc., from 7001700 m (Maximum 2163 m).
