CAMPANULA HAREBELL
Annual, perennial herb, from taproot, fibrous roots, or rhizome, hairs 0 to dense.
Stem: reclining or erect, branched, 2–60[150] cm, 4-angled.
Leaf: basal or not, cauline, generally lanceolate to ovate, thin, fleshy, or leathery, entire to toothed, sessile or petioled, gradually reduced distally to bracts in inflorescence.
Inflorescence: raceme and/or flowers 1 [ head, spike, panicle]; terminal or axillary.
Flower: not inverted; corolla cylindric to funnel- or bell-shaped, white to deep blue, cut 1/4–2/3 [to all the way] to base, lobes narrow- to wide-triangular; ovary inferior, hemispheric, spheric, or oblong to obconic.
Fruit: open by 2–3 lateral pores.
Seed: 0.6–3.5 mm, oblong or fusiform.
± 400 species: n hemisphere; many cultivated, some medicinal. (Latin: little bell, from corolla shape) [Roquet et al. 2008 Syst Bot 33:203–217] Campanula prenanthoides moved to Asyneuma.
Unabridged references: [Morin 1980 Madroño 27:149–163]
Unabridged note: Campanula medium L. collected in 2000 from landfill n of Baldwin Lake, SnBr, but probably not reproducing.
