AN ANNOTATED LIST OF THE SPECIES OF CAMPANULA. 197 



is a cross between spicata and thyrsoides (raised in the Kew Gardens), 

 with characters exactly intermediate between the two parents. 



The headquarters of the genus is Eastern Europe, the mountains of 

 Greece and Turkey, and farther east. The mountains of the Caucasus 

 abound with fine species, a good many beautiful ones have lately come to 

 us from this region ; others have been described which have not as yet 

 been introduced. If any of our great nurseries would make a speciality of 

 the genus I am sure they would find it profitable. The botanical gardens at 

 Tiflis might render valuable assistance in the introduction of novelties. 



It cannot be expected that a long list like this can be without errors : 

 I only hope they may be few. I issue it for what it is worth, hoping that 

 it may lead up to a more perfect treatise as the newer species are grown 

 on and better understood. 



abietina.— Griseb. et Sch., in " Weigm. Arch." xv., i., p. 323 (1852) (fig. 

 "Le Jardin," 1891, 115 ; "Reichb." xix. t. 1614). 

 (Syn. patula v. paucijiora, Koch, pi'. Banat rar., f. 42, t. 6.) 

 Hab. : Austria -Hungary, the Balkans, Bulgaria, &c. 

 A pretty species, not a good doer, as it often dies after flowering ; 

 it requires frequent division. 

 acuminata. — Mich., " Fl. Bor. Amer." i. 108 = americana. 

 Adami. — Willd., ex " Steud. Nom.," 2nd ed., i. 265 = lasiocarpa. 

 Adami.—Bieh., "Fl. Taur. Cauc." i. 153 = bellidifolia. 

 agg-regrata.— Willd., "En Hort. Ber." Supp. 10. See gflomerata. 

 Aizoon. — Boiss. et Spr., "Diagn. PI. Or." iv. 34. 



Hab. : Mountains in Greece, 5,000 to 7,000 feet. 

 A curious species ; tufts of radical leaves ; tall flower stems, 

 alaskana. — A species under this name has been sent out by Max 

 Leichtlin. I cannot find it anywhere described, nor have I seen 

 the plant in cultivation, 

 alata.— Desf., "Fl. Atl." i. 178, t. 80. 

 Hab. : Algiers. 



A fine large species in the way of peregrina. 

 alliariaefolia.— Willd., " Sp. PI." i. 910 (fig. " Bot. Mag." 23-912). 

 (Syn. lamiifolia. Bieb. "Fl. Taur." i. 154.) 

 Var. fl. pi. 



Hab. : Caucasus, Armenia, &c. 



A large, handsome, but rather coarse species ; it seeds itself most 

 freely, and often becomes rather a nuisance. 

 Allioni.— Vill., "Fl. Delph." 18, Prosp. 22 (fig. "Bot. Mag." 6588; 



" Journ. Roy. Hort. Soc." xxvi. 108, ex " The Garden"). 



Hab. : Mt. Cenis, Alps ; Mt. Genevre, Cottian Alps ; summits of 

 Mt. Bertrand, 9,000 feet ; Maritime Alps ; Taurus Mountains. 



A very beautiful species for rockeries ; requires a well-drained 

 pocket, full of coarse grit and sand, plenty of room for its 

 underground spreading roots, and constant watering. There is 

 a white-flowering variety, a variable species, the leaves some- 

 times linear, sometimes broad, spathulate. Florists of course 

 make varieties, but in a series it is seen that they run one 

 into the other.
