HAREBELL (sometimes wrongly written HAIItBELL)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 950 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HAREBELL (sometimes wrongly written HAIItBELL) , known also as the blue-bell of
Scotland
 , and witches' thimbles, a well-known perennial wild flower,
Campanula
  rotundifolia, a
member of the natural order Campanulaceae. The
harebell
  has a very slender slightly creeping root-stock, and a wiry, erect
stem
 . The radical leaves, that is, those at the base of the
stem
 , to which the specific name rotundifolia refers, have
long
  stalks, and are roundish or heart-shaped with crenate or serrate margin; the
lower
  stem leaves are ovate or lanceolate, and the upper ones linear, subsessile, acute and entire, rarely pubescent. The
flowers
  are slightly drooping, arranged in a panicle, or in small specimens single, having a smooth calyx, with narrow pointed erect segments, the corolla bell-shaped, with slightly recurved segments, and the capsule nodding, and opening by pores at the base. There are two varieties :(a) genuina, with slender stem leaves, and (b) montana, in which the
lower
  stem-leaves are broader and somewhat elliptical in shape. The plant is found on heaths and pastures throughout
Great
  Britain and
flowers
  in
late
  summer and in autumn; it is widely spread in the north temperate zone. The
harebell
  has ever been a
great
  favourite with poets, and on account of its delicate blue colour has been considered as an emblem of purity.
