Michauxia (Andre Michaux, 1746-1802, French botanist, who lived for ten years in America and wrote much on American plants). Campanulaceae, A half dozen species of rather coarse-habited biennial (perhaps perennial) herbs from the Levant. Useful for borders. Michauxia belongs, with Campanula and other genera of garden importance, to a group characterized by having the caps, closed at the top and opening laterally by little holes between the ribs or by small solitary valves. It is distinguished from the other genera of this group by the 8-10-parted corolla with narrow, spreading, finally reflexed lobes and an 8-10-celled ovary. Michauxias are erect plants, hispid or glabrous: lvs. irregularly toothed or lobed, the st.-lvs. few: fls. terminal or growing along the branches, the top ones opening first, peduncled or nearly sessile, white or pale rose.—Only 2 species are known to any extent as cult.plants.
