conceived. The species is a native of the Alps, whence it was introduced in 1775. It is quite hardy in British 
gardens, if grown in a dry soil and in an open situation, but it is easily killed by damp. It is admirably 
adapted for rock-work. It takes its name of bearded from the hair inside the corolla.

Synonymes. — C. alliariffifolia, Rmm. et Schultz; C. lamifolia, I Engravings. — Bot. Mag. t. 912 ; and our 3, in Plate 62. 
Bieb. 1 Specific Character. — Leaves cordate or hastate ; flowers secund. 
Description, &c. — This very handsome species has large white flowers, which are secund, that is, growing 
all on one side of the stem. The plant is a biennial, with a tap root. It is quite hardy, and flowers in July 
and August. It is a native of Mount Caucasus, whence it was introduced in 1803. It will grow in any 
common garden soil where there is plenty of room, but it requires considerable space. The milk of the plant is 
greenish, and very glutinous. 
7.— CAMPANULA ALPINA, Jaeq. ALPINE BELL-FLOWER. 
Synonyms. — Trachilium pumilum, Clus. 
Engravings.— Bot. Mag. t. 957 ; and our fig. 2, in Plate 63. 
Specific Character Stem nearly simple, furrowed. Leaves linear- 
lanceolate, repandly-crenate, woolly : radicle ones crowded, narrowed 
at the base. Flowers pyramidally racemose ; calycine lobes long, 
acuminated, woolly ; appendages of sinuses ovate-acute, woolly, much 
shorter than the lobes. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — The flowers of this very pretty little plant closely resemble those of the last species, except 
that they are not bearded, and that the colour is always blue or violet. It is a native of the Alps of Switzerland, 
whence it was introduced in 1779. It seldom grows above six inches high, and it is admirably adapted for 
rock-work, as it requires a dry situation fully exposed to the sun and air. 
SECTION 2.— EUCODON. 
Sinuses of calyx not furnished with appendages ; capsule three-celled, dehiscing laterally by valves, sometimes at the base, and 
sometimes at the apex. 
§. 1 . — Capsules erect, dehiscing at the base; flowers sessile, eapitate, or spicate.

Synonymes. — C. glomerata, B dahurica, Ker ; C. Agregata, Willd. 
Engravings. — Bot. Mag. t. 2649 ; Bot. Reg. t. 620 ; and ovx fig. 
3, Plate 63. 
Specific Character. — Downy ; stems terete. Leaves serrulated ; 
radicle ones ovate, acute. Flowers glomerate, large, showy ; bracts 
ovate, acuminated ; calycine lobes acuminated, twice shorter than 
the corolla, which is funnel-shaped. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — The stem of this Campanula is square, and about two feet high ; two of the sides are 
deeply grooved, and covered with hairs pointing downwards. The radicle leaves have long footstalks, and are 
quite cordate ; the stem leaves are sessile. The flowers are very handsome, being of a deep purple, and gathered 
together in clusters at the points of the shoots. The species is a native of Siberia, and it is quite hardy in 
British gardens ; it was introduced in 1818. It requires no particular care in its culture, though it varies 
exceedingly according to the soil and situation in which it is grown. In a very rich damp soil, the leaves 
become larger and the flowers paler, but not nearly so handsome as in common garden mould ; and in very poor 
soils the flowers are produced singly instead of being in clusters.
