H.A. PHACELIA CAMPANULARIA (A. 
Gray)— In habit it resembles the well-known 
Whitlavta grundijiora (which is now placed by 
botanists in the genns I’hacelia), but has a much 
more spreading and bushy habit of growth, and 
is therefore more floriferous ; an average plant 
will cover nine square inches of ground. The 
greatest attraction of the plant consists in its large 
and nnmerous flowers, of the finest deep gentian 
satiny blue, of a shade rivalling that of Bahia 
patens, produced in terminal racemes of from 12 
to 20 blossoms, which are developed in succession. 
Each flower is about three-fourths of an inch 
across, of an erect campanulate form, with a 
spreading five-lobcd limb, and short funnel- 
shaped tube, marked in the throat with fine 
oblong white spots. It has received a lirst- 
Olass Certificate from the Royal Horticultural 
Society. l.s. per pkt.
