Campanula carpatica, Jacg. Fig. 769. Perennial, 9-18 in., glabrous: st. branching: lower lvs. thin, long-petioled, ovate-rotund, cordate, coarsely dentate, undulate; upper ones shorter petioled, ovate-acuminate: peduncles long, terminal and axillary, 1-fld.; fls. large, often 1½ in. wide, bright deep blue; calyx-tube obconical, the lobes acute, wide at the base, subdentate-erect, a third or half as long as the broadly bell-shaped corolla; style not exserted: caps, ovoid-cylindrical. Carpathian Mts. of Austria. B.M. 117. G.C. III. 46:412. G.W. 12, p. 436. Gn. 48, p. 297; 62, p. 326. Var. coelestina, Hort. Fls. sky-blue. Var. alba, Hort. Fls. white. G.M. 55:615. Var. turbinata, Hort. (C. turbinata, Schott), is dwarfer, more compact, with fls. more bell- or top-shaped, and often 2 in. across, purplish blue. It also has larger lvs. and more decumbent habit. Gn.45. p. 171; 68, p. 179; 75, p. 201. G.W. 12, p. 446. F.E.17:15. A form with pallid fls. is rarer. Var. Wilsonii, Hort. (C. Wilsonii, Hort.), is a hybrid of var. turbinala and C. pulla, with the large fls. of the former and the handsome dark foliage of the latter: it is compact, dwarf, and small, ovate, very hairy lvs., with crenate-serrate margin. Gn. 60, p. 219. Var. haylodgensis, Hort. (C. haylodgensis, Hort.), is a garden hybrid, probably between C. carpatica and C. caespitosa. Raised by Anderson Henry, Hay Lodge, Edinburgh. Height 6-9 in.: root- lvs. tufted, roundish cordate, slightly dentate: st.-lvs. light green, ovate-cordate, conspicuously toothed: fls. light blue, bell-shaped, few, at the ends of sts. Var. pelviformis, Hort., from Crete, has very large, pale lilac, almost saucer-shaped fls. R.H. 1882, p. 509. G.C. III. 44:64. Var. Hendersonii, Hort., is often referred to var. turbinata, but is more robust; there is doubt as to its origin, C. pyramidalis or C. alliariaefolia possibly having played some part in it: lvs. ovate and ovate-cordate, 1½ in. long, ¾in. broad, slightly hairy on both sides, folded upwards, serrate; petioles 1-1½ in. long: fls. dark blue, 1½-2 in. wide, in short, 6-9-fld. racemes. G.W. 8, p. 65; 14, p. 581. Var. riverslea, Hort. Fls. dark blue, 2-3 in. across: sts. 12-15 in. long but spreading; parts of corolla often 6 or 7. G.M. 43:627. Var. compacta, Hort., is a condensed dwarf form. C. Stansfieldii, Hort., is supposed to be a hybrid between C. carpatica and C. Waldsteiniana (No. 31).—This species is very variable in height and in shape of fls. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
