ALPINE HAREBELL 



Campanula lasiocarpa Chamisso 



In the southern part of its range alpine harebell is a comparatively 

 rare 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 grasses, 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.
