Photos of Campanula hercegovina - true/false?
« on: November 04, 2015, 06:01:09 PM »
Hi,
I came across this document and am questioning the ID of one of the photos in it, said to be Campanula hercegovina.  I'd guess that the first unlabelled photo on page 5 is correct for it, but the photo on page 7, under the Campanula hercegovina title, looks like an Edraianthus, doesn't it?  Could someone please take a look and set me straight, if necessary?  Thanks in advance.

Looks very much like an Edraianthus to me - narrow leaves etc.

Some good pix of C. hercegovina - admittedly  var. nana, here:

Hi Lori, I think it's probably Edraianthus serpyllifolius. See http://www.mittelmeerflora.de/Zweikeim/Campanulaceae/edraianthus.htm.

Don't have experience of C. hercegovina but it looks as though various growers in this country have exhibited specimens (Google the photos). This looks similar to the Campanula shown earlier in the Powerpoint. Also note the leaf shape shown in the postage stamp on p. 8.

Best, Tristan

Thank you both for the confirmation!  I was starting to wonder if I was out in left field!  Unfortunate that a bad photo slipped into that document.
