﻿38 BOTANICAL MAGAZINE. [Vol. xx, 



This species has an apparent similarity to Campanula rotund if olia 

 Linn., but belongs to the different genus. C. rotundifolia Linn, is not yet 

 found in Japan ; plant which reported under that name by Henry F. Hance 

 in Trimen's Journal of Botany, 1881, is not probably Linne's species, but 

 ours; it was found by J. Bisset on Mt. Oyama in prov. Sagami, and our 

 specimens were also collected in a locality (as cited above) not far from 

 that mountain.

Perennial, about 2^-7 decim. in height. Stem very slender, weak; 

 patently piloso-pubescent then glabrate or subglabrate, ramose into flowering 

 branches above forming a panicle. Leaves loose, sparse, sessile or subsessiie 

 in the upper ones but petiolate in the lower ones, membranaceous, usually 

 glabrous on both surfaces but sometimes subpuberulent towards the margin 

 above or thinly piloso-pubescent along the midrib beneath, linear and often 

 falcate, gradually long-acuminate, gradually attenuated towards the base, 

 distantly minutely mucronato-serrulate, 6-20cm. long, 3-7mm. broad, green 

 above, paler beneath, the upper ones passing into bracts, the primordial ones 

 long-petiolate, reniform, cordate, oval, ovate, oblong, oblong-lanceolate, or 

 lanceolate, crenate, serrate, or subduplicately serrate. Panicle pyramidal, 

 loose, about 9-28 cm. long; rachis slender, glabrous as well as the branches 

 pedicels bracts and bracteoles; bracts leafy and linear or angustato-linear 

 in the lower ones, but the middle ones smaller and linear-filiform, the 

 upper ones much smaller and capillaceo-filiforin, the smallest one about 

 3 mm. long ; branches several to many, erect-patent, longer than bracts, 

 gracile, the lower ones ramulose into few pedicels and about 3-5-flowered, 

 but upper ones simple and single-flowered, the longest one about 13 cm. 

 long ; 2nd bracts capillaceo-filiforin, about 2-1 mm. long. Flowers small, 

 cernuous, pedicellate ; pedicel capillary, spreading, longer than flowers, about 

 2-4-J cm. long, very loosely few-bracteolate ; bracteoles minute, capillar} 7 , 

 1-3 mm. long. Calyx-lobes spreading, capillary, entire, glabrous, green, 

 4^-6^ mm. long. Corolla tubuloso-campanulate, 5— fid , glabrous, with finely 

 anastomosing venation, 10-11 mm. long, about 6 mm. across, white ; seg- 

 ments deltoid, acute, \ as long as the tube. Stamens 5, hardly shorter
