Campanula Vtdalii, 
Watson. Capt. Vidal's Bell- 
flower. — Nat. Ord., Campa- 
nulacese j Canvpanuleaj. — A 
half-shrubby maritime Bell- 
flower, probably half hardy 
or requiring a greenhouse. 
It is described to us by a 
gardener well acquainted 
with English flower-garden- 
ing, as a very ornamental 
species. Our figure, which 
serves merely to show its 
form, is taken from a repre- 
sentation of a poor specimen 
in Hooker's Icones Plant-arum 
(vii., t. 684). The plant 
forms a roundish mass two 
feet high, having dichoto- 
nious thickened branches 
which terminate in a rosette 
of leaves, of half-succu- 
lent, half-leathery texture, 
smooth, spathulate-oblong, 
with revolute crenated mar- 
gins ; the few leaves which 
occur on the flowering stems 
are lance-shaped and nearly 
entire. The flowers grow 
in terminal racemes, which 
shoot out from the centres 
of the leafy rosettes; they 
are nodding, bell-shaped, 
contracted in the middle, 
white or cream-coloured. 
Mr. Watson describes the 
leaves and branches as re- 
calling to mind some species 
of Saxifraga or Sempervi- 
vum ; in his dried specimen, 
shown in our figure, on 
which about three flowers 
were developed, several 
flower-buds appeared abor- 
tive, or else would have 
been developed later and 
irregularly. We have raised 
seedling plants. — From the 
Azores; found on an insu- 
lated rock on the east coast 
of Flores by Capt. Vidal. In- 
troduced in 1851. Flowers 
through the summer. Mr. 
Ayres, of Blackheath.
