Bootstock slightly creeping, slender, much branched (without 
thickened radical fibres), stoloniferous. Stems rather slender, wiry, 
erect, glabrous, simple or more rarely slightly branched. Radical 
leaves narrowly oblanceolate, narrowed into indistinct winged 
petioles ; lower stem-leaves similar but much smaller ; interme- 
diate and upper ones strapshaped, sessile ; all firm, flat, shining, 
glabrous, and very finely and remotely serrate or crenate-serrate. 
Inflorescence a short lax raceme, definite, the terminal flower 
opening first, often reduced to a single terminal flower. Flowers 
sub-erect. Peduncles 1-flowered, rather slender, with 2 bracteoles 
near the base. Calyx- tube glabrous or slightly hispid ; segments 
triangular-subulate, erect. Corolla cupsliaped - campanulate, with 
the segments very slightly recurved, about one-fourth the length 
of the whole corolla, roundish-ovate, sub-obtuse. Stigmas 3. Cap- 
sule erect, opening by pores at the apex of the calyx-tube. 
In woods near Cnllen, Banffshire, but probably not wild, and 
on the north side of the Wharfe, at Thorp Arch, Yorkshire. 
[England, Scotland.] Perennial. Summer. 
Stem 9 to 18 inches high, sparingly leafy. Flowers pale bright- 
blue, often white, inversely hemispherical, with the bell 1 to 1J inch 
long, and quite as broad, in which it differs from all the preceding 
species, which have the corolla longer than broad. I have not seen 
British specimens. 
Peach-leaved Hell-flower. 
French, Campanula Persicijolia. German, Pfirsichblallrige GlocJcenblume. 
When under the influence of cultivation, the flowers of this species often become 
double, white, and more numerous than when in its wild state. Both this and the 
next species have been used dictetieally, but have fallen into disuse.
