'''''Symphyandra''''' is a genus of 10-12 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Campanulaceae]], mainly native to the eastern part of the [[Mediterranean]] region in [[Asia Minor]], the [[Balkans]], and [[Crete]], but with one species in eastern [[Asia]] in [[Korea]]. The genus is closely related to ''[[Campanula]]'', but has connate [[anthers]] (fused or joined in the same whorl), while ''Campanula'' species have separated anthers. They are mostly [[Biennial plant|biennial]] ([[monocarpic]]) to short lived perennials. They have fleshy [[root]]s, with the [[leaf|leaves]] in a basal rosette, and alternately up the flowering stems. The basal leaves are commonly heart-shaped with toothed margins and covered with short hairs and have long [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]]s. The [[flower]]s are produced in racemes, corymbs or [[panicles]], flowering throughout the summer; they are nodding, tubular bell shaped, coloured white or blue. {{Inc| Symphyandra (Greek, anthers grown together). Campanulaceae. Perennial herbs with a thick caudex, most of them hardy. Leaves broad, usually cordate, dentate, the radical ones long-petioled, the cauline alternate, few or small: fls. usually nodding, rather large, racemose or laxly panicled, white, yellowish or bluish(?); calyx-tube adnate, hemispherical or turbinate, limb deeply 5-lobed or -parted; corolla campanulate, 5-lobed; ovary inferior, 3-celled.—About 8 species from the Caucasus and Asia Minor and one reported from Korea. Its special botanical interest lies in the fact that the anthers are grown together into a tube, which character tends to annul the distinction between the Campanula and Lobelia families. Otherwise the genus is much like Campanula, and used for similar purposes. S. pendula, Bieb. Perennial, pilose; sts. fleshy, 6-12 in. high: lvs. crenate-dentate, lower ovate, cordate, long-petioled; intermediate lvs. oblong, acute, cuneate, short-petioled: fls. simply racemose, yellowish white; calyx canescent-tomentose, appendages acuminate; corolla campanulate, whitish-tomentellous. Caucasus.—S. Wanneri, Heuff. Perennial, hispidulous: sts. 1-3, ascending, 6 in. or more high: lvs. oblong-lanceolate, acutely serrate or somewhat laciniate; radical long-attenuate to the petiole; cauline attenuate to the base, sessile: infl. thyrsoidly branched, branches 1-3-fld.: fls. blue-violet, large, nodding; calyx-tube hemispherical, segms. broadly and elongated-lanceolate, not appendaged; corolla long-campanulate.
