The name of this genus^ Adeiiophora, is derived 
from the Greek Aden, a gland; and phoreo, to 
bear; the word thus compounded, alludes to the 
cylindrical nectary around the base of the style. 
The great number of Campanulas — upwards of 
a hundred and fifty species, rendered it desirable 
to divide them into several genera, if any well- 
marked distinctions could be observed amongst 
them. In general they are so strictly analogous 
that no division could be prudently effected, except- 
ing of a few species. Adenophora contains some 
of these, and its name very appropriately points 
to a principal mark of difference. 
Adenophora coronopifolia is an exceedingly 
handsome herbaceous plant for the borders, when 
well grown. It should be planted in a light rich 
soil, and dry situation, and left in one place to be- 
come well established. Like many of the Campan- 
ulas it throws up very few offsets, therefore recourse 
is sometimes had to slitting the crown of the roots 
for increase. Weak plants, from such operation, 
should be potted, have a slight protection during 
the following winter, and be turned out in spring.
