Campanulaceae & Gentianaceae Fortnight: Campanulaceae-Campanula cana from Manali-GSJUL02

[Gurcharan Singh]

Campanula cana Wall. in Roxb., Fl. Ind. 2: 101. 1824.

There has been a long discussion on this plant when Prashant ji uploaded his plant, which we now agree to be Campanula pallida var. pallida.

The photographs uploaded by me here after comparing several others appear Campanula cana ( and not C. pallida as depicted on FOI) more firmly because.

1. The following links on Flora of China which resemble mine:

http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=104633&flora_id=800 

2. The plant, leaves, calyx are softly hairy and giving whitish hue to these parts, and not bristly.

3. calyx lobes nearly linear to subulate, not triangular and not toothed, more or less spreading.

4. Corolla lobes almost as long as tube and somewhat spreading.

5. style slightly exserted (and not included as in C. pallida) and clearly 3-lobed stigma.

The flower colour does look lighter than in description, but it matches with eFl of China photographs.

 

There has been inconclusive discussion on this plant when uploaded earlier.Hope it is resolved this time

It is a frequent species in temperate Uttarakhand. Hope the expert of Campanulaceae will resolve the ID this time.

Can be Campanula colorata?

[Gurcharan Singh]

C. colorata is old name for C. pallida

I have already explained why it can't be C. pallida

I guess Campanula pallida Wall. should be the correct ID.

Thank you
