The derivation of the generic name is stated un- 
der No. 130. Garganica was given by Professor 
Tenore as a specific name, from Mount Gargano, in 
Naples, where he discovered it, near to fort Angelo. 
Professor Don says that this beautiful Campanula 
was raised in the Bishop of Rochester’s Garden, at 
Bromley, from seeds sent to Miss Murray from Na- 
ples, by the Hon. W. T. H. Fox Strangways. Dr. 
Bindley mentions it as having been raised also in 
Mrs. Marryat’s Garden from seeds presented to Mrs. 
Palliser, by Professor Tenore. Some variation 
seems to occur in the plants thus obtained, both in 
respect to their leaves, and in the colour and depth 
of the lobes of the corolla. Their habit of growth 
also varies ; those raised at Mrs. Marryatt’s being 
more diffuse and spreading than the plant whence 
our drawing was taken. 
It is a most desirable species of Campanula, par- 
ticularly for rockwork, if it prove quite hardy. It 
may be divided at the root, or increased by cuttings. 
Kept in pots of peat and loam, over plenty of drain- 
ers, it will flower abundantly ; or it may be turned 
into the borders, in spring.
