Campanula rotundifolia L., syn: Campanula dubia A. DC., Campanula gieseckiana Vest ex Schult., Campanula petiolata A. DC., Campanula groenlandica BerlinEN: Harebell, Bluebell Bellflower, DE: Rundblttrige GlochenblumeSlo.: okroglolistna zvonicaDat.: June 13. 2019Lat.: 46.359816 Long.: 13.703358Code: Bot_1213/2019_DSC07695Habitat: mixed wood edge; almost flat terrain completely burnt down two years ago in a wooden building fire; calcareous, skeletal ground, shallow soil layer; partly sunny and dry place; elevation 585 m (1.920 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa, 'Na Melu' place; near cottage Trenta 2a, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Campanula rotundifolia is a very beautiful, widespread, from Greenland to south Europe, and probably the most common species among all bellflowers of Slovenia. It is a Eurasian North American circumpolar boreo-temperate plant common on all kind of preferably dry grassland, wood edges, light woods and bushland, roadsides from plains to subalpine elevations. It grows on both acid and alkaline sites. One can recognize it by its small roundish ground leaves (see picture 14.), which are completely different from usually much more abundant stem leaves. The ground leaves are often inconspicuous, sometimes almost absent, so a careful observation is required. The plant is very variable. To make determinations more difficult, there exist other bellflower species, which are quite similar and also have small roundish ground leaves and differently shaped stem leaves. Such are for example Campanula scheushzeri and Campanula carnica ssp. carnica in my environment. Therefore, proper determination of them is not always trivial. Ref.: 2 considers the species as insufficiently studied in Slovenia.Ref.:(1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.

Pua 'ala or lulaCampanulaceae (Bellflower family)Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (windward Molokai, Kalaupapa to Halawa, extant; Lnai, Maunalei Valley, extinct; Maui, extinct)IUCN: Critically EndangeredOahu (Cultivated)Pua ala means "fragrant flower."Single flower

www.flickr.com/photos/dweickhoff/4822617018/in/photostream/Hawaiians of former times in Wailau Valley, Molokai cultivated pua ala around their homes to enjoy the sweet fragrant flowers. One older source (Charles Gaudichaud,1819) states that Hawaiians "used all fragrant plants, all flowers and even colored fruits" for lei making. Red or yellow were indicative of divine and chiefly rank; purple flowers and fruit, or with fragrance, were associated with divinity. Because of their long-standing place in oral tradition, the fragrant yellow flowers lula were likely used for lei making by early Hawaiians, even though there are no written sources.Botanist Otto Degener notes: "Brighamia, called by various natives puaala, alula, ohaha, was eaten raw as a supposed remedy for consumption and various other diseases."Today, residents of Kalaupapa are said to still cultivate pua ala in their gardens and use the leaves as an edible vegetable.EtymologyThe endemic genus Brighamia, is named for William Tufts Brigham (1841-1926), geologist, botanist and the first direction of the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii.The specific epithet rockii is named for Joseph Frances Charles Rock (1884-1962), an Austrian-American botanist who did much to help our current understanding of native Hawaiian plants.

Campanula trachelium L., syn.: Campanula athoa Boiss. & Heldr., Campanula urticifolia F. W. SchmidtFamily: Campanulaceae Juss.EN: Nettle-leaved Bellflower, Bats-in-the-Belfry. DE: Nesselblttrige GlockenblumeSlo.: koprivasta zvonicaDat.: Sept. 8. 2019Lat.: 46.359476 Long.: 13.70506 (WGS84)Code: Bot_1250/2019_DSC00767Habitat: Mixed forest, next to a mountain trail; steep mountain slope, east aspect, colluvial, skeletal, calcareous ground; mostly in shade; elevation 545 m (1.790 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa at the upstream entrance of Matev's gorge, next to the trail from the main road Bovec Vri to the abandoned farmhouse Skokar, Trenta 2, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: Nettle-leaved bellflower (Campanula trachelium) is a common but beautiful bellflower preferring half shade rather than full sun. It is common in light woods, among bushes and wood clearings all over the most European countries. It can grow up to 1 m toll and has large up to 4 cm long blue violet bells. Its leaves are similar to the leaves of common nettle what reflects in its vernacular names in many languages.Ref.(1) D. Aeschimann, K. Lauber, D.M. Moser, J.P.
