Abstract

The genus Campanula family Campanulaceae comprises 300 species which are widely distributed, chiefly in the Northern Hemisphere, being particularly abundant in Europe. The name of the genus derives from the Latin campana (a bell), meaning little bell, from the shape of the corolla in some species (Bailey 1958; Everett 1981). Bellflowers are a large group of attractively flowering herbs, especially of hardy herbaceous perennials, which are suitable for garden ornamentals, i.e., they decorate flower beds and borders, provide a wealth of bloom in rock gardens, etc. Many species, such as C. isophylla and C. fragilis, are admirable cut flowers, and are delightful in pots in greenhouses, window gardens, on porches, and so on.
