The flowers of this novel and interesting species 
of Campanula bear less of the characteristic shape 
implied by their name than most others of the ge- 
nus. The deeply divided and spreading lobes of 
its corolla almost destroy its campanulate or bell- 
like shape. It has been called Portenschlagiana 
by the German botanists, Romer and Schultes. 
The Campanula muralis is a remarkably pretty 
plant, and although its flowers are not of brilliant 
colour, their delicacy and number render them very 
ornamental. 
It has not been introduced to this country a suffi- 
cient length of time for its habits to become perfectly 
known, therefore it will be prudent that the cultiva- 
tor protect a plant of it in the cold frame, lest by 
full exposure the whole be lost. It may be in- 
creased by dividing its roots in spring or autumn ; 
or by cuttings of the young shoots, which will strike 
root under a hand-glass, on a shady border ; but 
the more readily if put on a hotbed. It may also 
be raised from seeds. When kept in pots, a mix- 
ture of peat, loam, and sand, with abundance of 
drainers, is very congenial to its growth.
