CAMPANULA. 



The name is diminutive of Campana> a bell ; on 

 account of the resemblance thereto of the corolla. 

 There are more than two hundred species of Cam- 

 panula, natives of the colder portions of America, 

 Asia and Europe, among which are included the 

 famed Blue-Bell of Scotland — the Hare-bell of 

 America. The roots of one variety, C. Rapicuculus, 

 are sometimes eaten.
