ALPINE HAREBELL 
Campanula lasiocarpa Chamisso 
In the southern part of its range alpine harebell is a comparatively 
tare plant and is to be found only by those hardy souls who climb to 
the heights. Here above timberline we found it hiding among the 
short gtasses, as though to gain a little shelter from winds and storms. 
It was a thrilling experience to come upon so shy and rare a flower. 
This attractive little harebell has a northern range, occurring in 
Alberta, British Columbia, and Alaska. It is found also in Siberia and 
Japan. 
The sketch was made from a flower obtained on Eagle Peak, near 
Glacier, British Columbia, at an altitude of 8,000 feet.
