Remarks

[“July 22. . . I find the Campanula Americana of the West naturalized in our garden.” Journal 5: 324. 1853. Campanula rapunculoides isn’t listed in Gray’s Manual of Botany 1st or 2nd editions, but is listed in horticultural treatises of the time such as McMahon’s 1806 “The American Gardener’s Calender” as a vegetable under Campanula Rapunculus, Esculent Rampion. ann. W. T. Kittredge, 2017]
