HONEYSUCKLE FAMILY—BLUEBELL FAMILY 57 
SNOWBERRY SYMPHORICARPUS OCCIDENTALIS 
Plate 36, fig. 5 
The Snowberry bears its pale pink flowers in drooping clusters 
on the spreading branches of bushes, which grow 2-5 ft. tall. 
They bloom in midsummer and may be found in meadows and thickets 
at 3000-7000 ft. The name refers to the snow-white berries which 
form the fruits. 
BLUEBELL FAMILY 
PURPLE BELLFLOWER CAMPANULA PARRYI 
Plate 36, fig. 1 
The blossoms of the Purple Bellflower grow singly at the tips of 
slender stems and bloom in midsummer. They do not droop, as do 
many of the bluebells. They are found in mountain meadows at 7000- 
10000 ft. The plants are unbranched and small, growing but 4-12 in. 
tall. The name of the genus, Campanula, means “little bell.” 
BLUEBELL, HAREBELL CAMPANULA ROTUNDIFOLIA 
Plate 36, fig. 2 
The purple-blue flowers of the Bluebell droop gracefully at inter- 
vals along their slender stems and bloom all summer long. The plants 
grow but a few inches tall in the alpine regions where each bears 
but a single blossom, but they are sometimes 3 ft. high at lower alti- 
tudes, especially in the shade. They are found on foothills and in 
mountain meadows and aspen woodlands at 6000-13000 ft. This 
species is the true Bluebell of Scotland. 
ALPINE BLUEBELL CAMPANULA UNIFLORA 
Plate 36, fig. 6 
The Alpine Bluebell is a tiny plant, growing but 2-5 in. tall on
