12 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
Nottingham, York, Edinburgh, and Perth, and on more doubtful 
authority from those of Oxford, Worcester, Gloucester, and Forfar, 
England, Scotland. Late Summer. 
Stem more slender than in the preceding species, 18 inches to 
3 feet high, simple in small, paniculately-branched in large exam- 
ples. Radical leaves resembling those of Viola odorata, but much 
narrower; stem-leaves rather distant. Elowers 1J to If inch long, 
bright-purple, secund. As in C. latifolia, the inflorescence is a true 
raceme, with the lowest flowers opening first ; but the terminal flower 
generally expands before the 3 or 4 flowers immediately below it. 
Plant dull-green, puberulent rather than pubescent. 
I have not seen the peduncles branched in this species, but it is 
very probable they may be so occasionally. 
Creeping Bell-flower.

Pootstock slightly creeping, very slender, elongated, much 
branched, without thickened radical fibres, sometimes stoloniferous. 
Stems slender, wiry, erect, often decumbent at the base, sub- 
glabrous, paniculately branched or simple. Radical leaves on long 
stalks, roundish or broadly-ovate, cordate or sub-cordate, crenate 
or serrate ; lowest stem-leaves sometimes ovate or oblanceolate, 
the rest linear, subsessile or sessile, acute, entire ; all glabrous, 
rarely more or less pubescent. Inflorescence a raceme or racemose 
panicle, definite, the terminal flower opening first, in small spe- 
cimens reduced to a solitary terminal flower. Elowers slightly 
drooping. Peduncles 1 - flowered, more rarely 2-flowered, very 
slender, without bracteoles, or with 1 or 2 very minute linear- 
subulate ones in the lower half. Calyx-tube glabrous ; segments 
subulate, erect. Corolla widely campanulate, with the segments 
slightly recurved, about one-fourth the length of the whole corolla, 
roundish-ovate, sub-obtuse. Stigmas 3. Capsule nodding, opening 
by pores at the base of the calyx- tube.
