has done flowering, the stems generally die down to the ground, and the plant remains in a dormant state all 
the summer ; but it should be still kept in a warm dry situation, so that the roots may be properly matured for 
the following year. It is very suitable for sheltered situations on the South and West coast. 
GENUS VI. 
ADENOPHORA, Alph. Dec. THE ADENOPHORA, OR SIBERIAN BELL-FLOWER. 
Lin. Syst. PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Generic Character Calyx five-cleft. Corolla campaniilate or 
funnel-ghaped, five-lobed at the apex. Stamens free. Filaments erect, 
dilated, and ciliated at the base. Style projecting a long way beyond 
the corolla, hairy, hairs disposed in ten rows ; lower part of the style 
smooth. Stigma three-lobed. Capsule three-celled, opening on the 
side and base by three valves. Seeds ovate, very small and fiat. 
Descripiion, &c. — The very elegant flowers that compose this genus are easily distinguished from the true 
Campanulas by their projecting style and their irregularly shaped leaves. The generic name is derived from two 
Greek words, signifying " bearing glands," in allusion to the stigma being clothed with glandular hairs while in 
its club-shape, in which it first appears though it becomes three-cleft when ripe.

Synonvmes Campanula intermedia, Ram. et Schult. ; Cam- 
panula stylora, Hort. Par. 
Engravings.— Sweet's Brit. Flow. Gard., 2d Series, t. 108; and 
OUT Jig. 1, in Plate 61. 
Specific Character. — Radicle leaves petiolate, cordate, dentate. 
Stem leaves lanceolate, attenuated at the base, closely serrated ; lower 
ones on short petioles, elliptico-lanceolate ; upper ones sessile, acumi- 
nate ; panicles of flowers naked, style very long. 
Description, &c. — This very elegant plant produces several stems from the same root, which attain, when 
the plant is strong, the height of three feet ; the panicle of flowers is about a foot long ; the leaves are variable 
in form, but they are all smooth, and of a pale green ; the flowers are of a pale blue, small, and gracefully 
drooping, with a style which is about twice the length of the corolla, being very smooth and slender at the base, 
and thickening upwards, where it is densely covered with glandular hairs. The stigma is three- cleft, with the 
points bent back. This very elegant plant is a native of Siberia, whence it was introduced in 1820; but 
notwithstanding it comes from so cold a country, it is sometimes injured by spring frosts ; it flowers in May. 
It is propagated by dividing the root, or by seeds. 
2.— ADENOPHORA VERTICILLATA, Fisch. THE WHORL-LEAVED ADENOPHORA 
SvNoNYMES..— Campanula verticillata. Pall. ; C.tetraphylla, Thunb. 
Engraving — Sweet's Brit. Flow. Gard., 2d Series, 160. 
Specific Character. — Radicle leaves petiolate, subrotund, ovate. 
serrated. Stem-leaves nearly sessile, lanceolate, verticillate ; teeth of 
the calyx linear, acute. Corolla sub-tubular, only half the length of 
the style. 
Description, &c. — The flowers of this species are of the most beautiful ultramarine blue, and the flowers 
themselves are bell-shaped, almost tubular. The style projects, but it is not near so long as in the previous 
genus, and the flowers, though larger, not near so numerous ; the leaves are handsome, and vary in shape as in 
the previous genus. It is a native of Siberia, and was introduced in 1827.
