campanula

“Campanula chalice”: the bell of a flower, as of a Canterbury-bell.

I am going to try whether Campanula sets seed without insect agency.

Here is an illustration of ripe pods of a bellflower, Campanula turbinata, nodding instead of erect.

I then proceeded to explain to him the beautiful complex structure by means of which this campanula fertilises itself.

In Campanula the pores occur at the base of the capsule, which becomes inverted when ripe.
