Campanula phitosiana

Tireçanı

Usually densely tomentose, monocarpic perennial, chasmophyte. Stems up to 50 cm long, 1–4 mm in diameter, numerous, unbranched, sometimes with lateral branches, procumbent, flexuous, decumbent, arising from the collar of a thick taproot. Leaves tomentose, upper surface slightly tomentose, lower surface densely tomentose. Rosette leaves lyrate-shaped, pinnate with lobes petiolate or sessile, 4–21 cm × 0.6–5 cm , mostly withered at anthesis, crenate to dentate at margins; midvein mostly winged; terminal lobes cordate to ovate, obtuse to subacute at apex; lateral lobes spathulate, ovate, obovate, sometimes lyrate; lobes 3–15, unequal; petiole 1.2–8 cm. Cauline leaves 0.7–6 cm × 0.3–2.6 cm , sessile to 2 cm petiolate, decreasing upwards; lower cauline leaves similar to rosette leaves, lyrate; upper cauline leaves spathulate, ovate, obovate to eliptic, serrate to crenate-dentate at margin, acute at apex. Inflorescence racemose, rarely paniculate, 3–25-flowered per each stem. Flowers secund to subsecund; 1.5–8 mm pedicellate, rarely pedicels absent. Calyx lobes triangular-lanceolate to lanceolate, 7–13 × 3–5 mm, erect, tomentose, hirsute-tomentose at margins; appendages ovate to triangular, acute to obtuse, tomentose to hirsute, 3–5 × 2.5–3 mm, slightly concealing the ovary at flowering time, enlarged after anthesis and wholly concealing the ovary. Corolla campanulate, pubescent-tomentose to tomentose outside and inside, pale purplish-blue to whitish purplish-blue, 12–25 × 7–15 mm; lobes 2–5 × 2–7 mm, ovate-suborbicular, obtuse to   subacute, with very small appendicules. Ovary very densely tomentose. Style included in or subexerted from the corolla tube, 9–18 mm, pale purplish-blue, mostly strongly curved downward. Stigma distinctly 5-lobed, slightly recurved, 1.5–3 mm. Stamen 7–12 mm long; filament white, 2–4 mm long, with triangular-orbicular base, base of filament 1.2–2 mm × 1.5–2 mm and ciliate on margin; anthers yellow, 5–8 mm long; pollen grain bright yellow, Pollen grain triporate, spheroidal, diameter 20.1 ±1.45 μm, spinulate, spinule length 0.2–0.7 μm . Capsule 3–6 × 2.5–5.5 mm, hemispherical to turbinate, tomentose, opening by 5 basal pores; usually hidden by enlarged calyx appendages. Seeds oblong-oval to  oblong-elliptic, 0.4–0.7 × 0.2–0.3 mm, shining brownish, striate .
