shaped, or divided into numerous fleshy tubers like that of the Dahlia. The species has blue flowers ; but there

on short petioles, ovate, lanceolate, acuminate. Flowers disposed in 
long spicate racemes. Segments of the calyx acuminated, spreading or

bit of C. pyramidalis, but the flowers are nearly rotate ; 
aite in the middle, and deepening into violet again at 
the tips of the segments. It is a native of Greece, whence it was introduced in 1788. 
22.— CAMPANULA TENORII, Mor. PROFESSOR TENORE’S CAMPANULA, 
Svnonymes. — C. corymhosa. Ten.; C. Rosani, Moricand.; C. 
Thomasii, Hort ; C. versicolor, Guss. 
Specific Character. — Stem ascending. Leaves coriaceous ; radical 
ones ovate-oblong, acutely serrated on long petioles ; cauline leaves 
ovate, acute, coarsely serrated. Flowers racemose. Segments of the 
calyx linear, spreading ; shorter than the corolla. 
Description, &c. — This plant bears a very strong resemblance at first sight to C. fragilis. The corolla has 
a white centre and blue segments. It is a native of the kingdom of Naples, and was introduced about 1830. 
It grows from six inches to a foot high. 
§ 4. — Capsule erect, dehiscing laterally towards the apex. Flowers pedicellate.

angular ; leaves crenated ; lower ones obovate ; upper ones ovate, 
acute. Flowers disposed in a spicate raceme ; lobes of the calyx acu- 
minate, nearly entire, rather shorter than the corolla, which is spreading. 
Capsule ovoid. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — This is a very handsome species, the flowers of which are almost flat. It grows on a 
tall stem, with a very long raeeme of flowers, which keep opening for many weeks in succession like those of 
C. pyramidalis., but it differs from that plant in being hairy and having only a simple stem of flowers instead of 
a branched one. It is a hardy biennial, which requires the usual treatment of plants of that kind. It reeeived 
its odd name of peregrina, which signifies “ wandering,” from its being first supposed to be a native of the Cape 
of Good Hope, and afterwards of Syria, from its seeds having been accidentally mixed with the seeds of plants from 
those countries. Its real native country is, however, unknown ; and the first trace.s we have of it are its coming 
up in the Botanic Garden at Upsall, among a number of young plants produced by foreign seeds, about the 
year 1794. 
24.— CAMPANULA PLANIFLORA, Lam. THE FLAT-FLOWERED CAMPANULA. 
Svnonymes. — C. nitida. Ait.; C. Americana, Mill. I stem-leaves linear-lanceolate, acute. Segments of the calyx ovate. 
Specific Character. — Quite glabrous. Stems simple. Leaves erect, much shorter than the corolla, which is nearly rotate, 
sessile, coriaceous, shining; radical ones crowded, obovate, crenulate; | 
Description, &c. — There are two varieties of this species, one with blue flowers, and the other with white. 
The flowers in both cases are nearly flat. The leaves are glossy. A native of America, introduced in 1731.
