 Creek (D.\); Cascadilla Creek, above Eddy Pond; Snyder Hill (D.) ; Ringwood; 

 n. of McLean; Asbury; Tarbells; and elsewhere. 



Newf. to Oht., southw. to N. Y., Pa., and Ohio. Introduced from Eurasia. 



The plants in this region are mostly intermediate between the typical form and 

 var. ucranica (Bess.) C. Koch, the leaves being hairy or almost smooth, and the 

 ovary minutely scabrous or rarely glabrous. 



2. C. americana L. Tall American Bell-flower. 



Thickets in rich soil toward the base of valley slopes; rare. July 15-Aug. 



Renwick slope, between Renwick and Fall Creek (D. !) ; near s. w. corner of 

 Cayuga Lake XD.). 



Ont. and N. Y. to Nebr., southw. to Fla. and Ark. ; rare or absent along the coast. 

 A plant of the rich soils of the Mississippi Basin. 



3. C. rotundifolia L. Harebell. Bluebell. 



Damp or dry calcareous cliffs, in the ravines, and along the lake shore; frequent. 

 June-Oct. 



Enfield Glen; Fall Creek Gorge; Taughannock Gorge; and elsewhere. 



N. J., Pa., 111., and Nebr., northw. to the Arctic regions, southw. in the Rocky

This species is more northern than C. aparinoides, and inland rather than coastal. 

 Apparently it differs also from that species in preferring more calcareous soils.
