Campanula Rotundifolia L Native Plants for Wild Bee Conservation Fact Sheet: Harebell, Bluebell Bellflower Scientific name: Campanula rotundifolia L. Harebell was one of nine plant species used in research evaluating native perennial wildflower plantings for supporting wild bees and improving crop pollination on farmlands in Montana. Family: Campanulaceae Life cycle: perennial Growth habit: forb/herb Flower color: blue to violet, but sometimes white Flower shape: bell-shaped flowers with fused petals; many flowers per plant Foliage: medium green, heart-shaped basal leaves and linear, grass- like leaves on delicate stems Height: 6-18 inches Bloom period: June-September Habitat: Grows in a variety of environments throughout its range including meadows, prairies, grasslands, woodlands, rocky mountain slopes, cliffs, and rock crevices. Found from low to high elevations. Growing conditions: full to part sun; dry to moderately moist, well- drained rocky to sandy soil; drought tolerant once established; great for rock gardens. Establishment: Seed does not require pre-treatment to break Delphia C.M. Photo: dormancy. For this project, we grew plants from seed in the greenhouse and transplanted them to the field as plugs in Spring. Plants flowered some during the year they were planted, and abundantly so the following two years. Overwintering success was moderate to high depending on the farm. Seed collecting was easy, though plants continued to bloom as they also set mature seed. Plants readily self-seeded. For more information on native plants: Visit the USDA-NRCS Delphia C.M. Photo: PLANTS database or the Montana Native Plant Society website. Bee visitation: Bumble bees, green sweat bees, banded sweat bees, small dark sweat bees, small carpenter bees, cellophane bees, leafcutting bees, masked bees, and cuckoo bees. Total number of bees Low High Number of bee species Low High Relative attractiveness of C. rotundifolia across farms over 2 years.

Asyneuma pakistanicum has its leaves sessile or subsessile, leaf blade 8–12 mm long, 4–6 mm broad, flowers solitary and stigma trifid, which makes it distinct from A. thomsonii. Campanula rotata is character- istic of rotate corolla, connivent anthers, solitary flowers, and narrow-elliptic to linear leaves. Campanula microphylloidea resembles C. cana, but differs from it in its leaves much smaller and sessile and flowers solitary, etc. Key words: Asyneuma, Campanula, China, Pakistan Introduction While examining the specimens of plants for the Flora of Pan-Himalaya, I found three collections (one from Chitral of Pakistan and two from southern Tibet of China), which are distinct from the other species.

    Bulletin UASVM Horticulture, 68(1)/2011 Print ISSN 1843-5254; Electronic ISSN 1843-5394 Studies Regarding the Behaviour in Crop Conditions of Some Species from Ornamental Flora, with Decorative Value Elena-Liliana CHELARIU, Lucia DRAGHIA University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Iaşi, 3 Mihail Sadoveanu Alley, Iaşi - 700490, Romania; [email protected] Abstract. The current paper presents the preliminary results of a study regarding the behaviour in crop conditions of four species, from spontaneous flora, with ornamental value (Campanula glomerata, Campanula persicifolia, Digitalis grandiflora and Gladiolus imbricatus). In comparison with the behaviour in natural habitat were made phenological studies to establish the vegetation period and biometric quality studies. The obtained results show that the studied species had a good adaptability in crop conditions, with maintaining ornamental value. Keywords: Campanula glomerata, Campanula persicifolia, Digitalis grandiflora, Gladiolus imbricatus, spontaneous flora, ornamental value INTRODUCTION The new tendencies in garden design influence in a direct way the industry of ornamental plants, in the way of diversifying the range of plants well adapted to the local pedo-climatic conditions, which will be able to decorate for a long period of time and requiring low establishment costs and maintenance. The plants with ornamental features from spontaneous flora are preferred, because have the added benefit of adaptability in local and regional conditions. This creates a new opportunity, relatively untapped regional, as a niche market for ornamental plant nursery industry. Introduction in culture, on a large scale of new ornamental species from the spontaneous flora, can be achieved by selection of biological natural material or through modern methods of breeding.

    MOUNTAIN PLANTS OF NORTHEASTERN UTAH Original booklet and drawings by Berniece A. Andersen and Arthur H. Holmgren Revised May 1996 HG 506 FOREWORD In the original printing, the purpose of this manual was to serve as a guide for students, amateur botanists and anyone interested in the wildflowers of a rather limited geographic area. The intent was to depict and describe over 400 common, conspicuous or beautiful species. In this revision we have tried to maintain the intent and integrity of the original. Scientific names have been updated in accordance with changes in taxonomic thought since the time of the first printing. Some changes have been incorporated in order to make the manual more user-friendly for the beginner. The species are now organized primarily by floral color. We hope that these changes serve to enhance the enjoyment and usefulness of this long-popular manual. We would also like to thank Larry A.

Specific Characteristics of the Cardinal Flower Flowers: Scarlet, irregular, 2-lipped, with a 2-lobed upper lip, a 3-lobed lower one and a tubular base. Sexual parts protrude in a beak-like fashion (see illustration). Flowers 1-2" long and wide in upright racemes. Five sepals are thin (almost hair-like). Leaves: Alternate, simple, lanceolate to oblong or narrowly ovate, tapered to apex and base, pubescent or glabrous. Toothed, often irregularly so (sometimes dentate). Short-petioled to sessile, 2-7" long. Height and Growth Habit: 1-5'; usually unbranched. Range: New Brunswick to Minnesota, south to the Gulf of Mexico.

  • The Genus Campanula L. (Campanulaceae) in Croatia, Circum-Adriatic and West Balkan Region
    Acta Bot. Croat. 63 (2), 171–202, 2004 CODEN: ABCRA25 Review paper ISSN 0365–0588 The genus Campanula L. (Campanulaceae) in Croatia, circum-Adriatic and west Balkan region SANJA KOVA^I]* University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science, Department of Botany and Botanical Garden, Maruli}ev trg 9a, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia The status of the genus Campanula L. (Campanulaceae) in southeast-European, circum- -Adriatic and west Balkan countries (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, FYR Macedonia, and Albania) is discussed, according to the lo- cal checklists, recent nomenclature and research. The flora of the region comprises at least 84 Campanula species and subspecies, out of which 75% are endemic, with a consider- able number of incipient taxa. Accent is placed on the Croatian flora, which contains 30 species and 5 subspecies (42% of the regional taxa), while some older references are found to be inaccurate or recently unconfirmed. The predominant chromosome number is diploid, 2n = 34, while the most prevailing life form is hemichryptophytic (97% of the taxa). More than 30% of the Croatian campanulas are endemic, particularly of the Isophylla, Heterophylla (Rotundifolia), Pyramidalis and Waldsteiniana lineages, the un- solved relations among which are considered to be the most interesting in the region. The genus Campanula, in its current circumscription, needs fundamental revision. Key words: Campanula, Croatia, Adriatic coast, Balkan Introduction Members of the family Campanulaceae Juss. s.l. are widespread on most continents, with up to 90 genera and 2200 species (JUDD et al. 2002).

Resolving the Evolutionary History of Campanula (Campanulaceae) in Western North America Barry M. Wendling, Kurt E. Galbreath, Eric G. DeChaine* Department of Biology, Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington, United States of America Abstract Recent phylogenetic works have begun to address long-standing questions regarding the systematics of Campanula (Campanulaceae). Yet, aspects of the evolutionary history, particularly in northwestern North America, remain unresolved. Thus, our primary goal in this study was to infer the phylogenetic positions of northwestern Campanula species within the greater Campanuloideae tree. We combined new sequence data from 5 markers (atpB, rbcL, matK, and trnL-F regions of the chloroplast and the nuclear ITS) representing 12 species of Campanula with previously published datasets for worldwide campanuloids, allowing us to include approximately 75% of North American Campanuleae in a phylogenetic analysis of the Campanuloideae.
