(Root rather woody. E.) Unless the root-leaves be carefully searched for, 
they will scarcely be observed, and then the plant may be mistaken for 
C. patula. Stem, round and smooth (slender, a span high. E.) Root- 
leaves sometimes entire, sometimes notched, varying from kidney to heart- 
shaped. Stem-leaves varying from strap-spear-shaped to thread-shaped, 
and the broader ones occasionally with a few serratures. Blossom blue, 
purple, or white, (in a lax, drooping panicle. E.) 
(The radical leaves soon wither, and thus this part of the specific character 
is often wanting. Hook. 
The single flowered variety, found on the hill of Monteith near Perth, as 
also on Skiddaw, and conjectured to be C. uniflora , Linn, is considered 
by Smith to be merely of more humble growth and fewer flowers from its 
barren situation. E.)

* (Commonly admitted into gardens ; where both the flowers and foliage become va¬ 
riegated. E.) 
f (A Latin word, signifying a little bell, which the blossom resembles in figure. E.) 
t (Indicative of an extremely barren soil. Sinclair. Sometimes denominated Hare-bell 
in Scotland ; as by one of the most fascinating of her modern poets, in describing the fairy 
footsteps of Ellen: 
“ E’en the light Hare-bell raised its head, 
Elastic, from her airy tread.” 
An exquisite passage, for which we can only find a parallel in Milton’s Song of Sabrina, 
“ Thus I set my printless feet 
O’er the Cowslip’s velvet head. 
That bends not as I tread.” E.)
