Campanula
is one of several genera in the family Campanulaceae
with the common name bellflower.
It takes both its common and its scientific name from its bell-shaped flowers—campanula is Latin for "little
bell". The genus includes over 500 species and several subspecies,
distributed across the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the
highest diversity in the Mediterranean region east to the Caucasus. The species
include annual, biennial and perennial plants, and vary in habit from dwarf
arctic and alpine species under 5 cm high, to large temperate grassland
and woodland species growing to 2 metres tall. Source
