A taxonomic study of Campanula L. subgenera Megalocalyx Damboldt and Sicyocodon (Feer) Damboldt is presented
here. Taxonomical, nomenclatural, morphological, chromosomal, geographic and ecological data are recorded for
each taxon. Based on these data, one species is included in C. subgenus Sicyocodon and 12 in C. subgenus Megalocalyx. In addition, 11 lectotypifications of specific and infraspecific names are made, and a taxonomic key and
descriptions of subgeneric and specific taxa are given. © 2003 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal

INTRODUCTION
The genus Campanula comprises c. 300 species,
largely distributed in temperate areas of the northern
hemisphere. Campanula includes annual and perennial plants. Annuals were included in sect. Annuae by
Boissier (1875), but later were separated by Damboldt
(1976) into four subgenera: Megalocalyx, Sicyocodon,
Roucela (Dumort.) Damboldt and Brachycodonia
(Fedorov) Damboldt. The subgenus Roucela includes
plants lacking appendages between lobes of the calyx
(Damboldt, 1978), and the monotypic subgenus
Brachycodonia holds an intermediate position between
Campanula and Legousia (Federov, 1957). Subgenus
Sicyocodon and Megalocalyx are closely related and
form a natural group. They have two synapomorphies
in common: (i) the dichasial or subdichasial inflorescence, and (ii) the reflexed appendages present
between the calyx lobes (Damboldt, 1976). These subgenera have been recognized by different authors as
several other taxonomic ranks: as a subsection

(Fedorov, 1957; Rechinger & Schimann-Czeika, 1965),
or as a section (Post & Kuntze, 1904; Charadze, 1949).
The monotypic subgenus Sicyocodon can be easily differentiated from taxa belonging to subgenus Megalocalyx on the basis of the conspicuous, broadly
campanulate corolla and very long exserted style (35–
50 mm long). Unfortunately, the reported taxonomic
affinities of subgen. Sicyocodon are speculative. On the
other hand, plants included in subgenus Megalocalyx
show tubular-campanulate or nearly rotate corollas,
the style is smaller (4–15 mm long) and always
included in the corolla. Some authors (Contandriopoulos, 1972, 1976, 1984; Gadella, 1966; Damboldt, 1978)
suggested that Sicyocodon with its long exserted style
probably holds a very isolated position in the genus,
which is attributed to a different pollination syndrome
related to flies, unique in the Campanulaceae
(Damboldt, 1978). Plants included in the genus Campanula, and particularly those in subgen. Megalocalyx,
are mainly pollinated by bees that become coated with
pollen when they take the nectar. When the bee visits
a flower in female-phase, the pollen is deposited on the
stigma while the bee searches for nectar. Other nonspecialized pollen-feeding insects were observed, such
as small flies and beetles. Nevertheless, they are less

pared. All taxa were then differentiated using qualitative characters. This separation was tested by
means of Discriminant Analysis (DA) for the most difficult species. This method (Sneath & Sokal, 1973),
which requires the a priori assignment of OTUs to
groups, indicates whether the recognized groups are
statistically definable entities or whether there is a too
much variation within groups to allow classification.
For DA, a raw matrix was obtained, the results sorted
into discrete groups, and calculations carried out
using the STATISTICA package. The parameters used
as descriptors and the results are summarized in

MATERIAL AND METHODS
This revision is based on 423 herbarium specimens,
including type specimens, from the following herbaria
(abbreviations according to Holmgrem, Holmgrem &
Barnett, 1990): BC, BCC, BCF, COI, G, LD, LE, MA,
MAF, MPU, P, RAB, UPS, VAB, W and the herbarium
of the Universitat de les Illes Balears (Balearic
Islands, Spain). Features of gross morphology were
studied under a binocular stereoscopic microscope.
Samples for scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
were glued to aluminium stubs, coated with 40–50 nm
gold and examined with a JEOL-TSM T330A at 20 kV.
The density of spinules in the pollen surface was
recorded by counting the number of spinules in a
known area of surface of a SEM photograph.
Twelve quantitative characters were recorded and
measured using a Brown and Acutee 599-571-3 digital
caliper. Each character was analysed for its mean and
median values, range, standard deviation and significance, using the STATISTICA package. To represent
the variability of each descriptor within species, boxplots containing medians and percentiles were pre-

important as pollination agents. In the absence of
insects, autopollination is common, being probably
more frequent in annual plants with small flowers
(Nyman, 1993; Proctor, Yeo & Lack, 1996).
On morphological grounds, subgen. Sicyocodon is
related to subgen. Megalocalyx with which it shares
most of the vegetative characters and the basic flower
features. However, this could be simply due to a convergence. In the absence of more conclusive evidence
(molecular or anatomical) for subgeneric delimitation
in the genus, we prefer to accept subgenus Sicyocodon
as independent of Megalocalyx.
Subgenera Sicyocodon and Megalocalyx are distributeed throughout the Mediterranean basin, but the
number of species is higher in the east Mediterranean.
The limits are the Canary Islands in the west and the
Caucasus in the east. The annual habit and the irregular reproductive patterns could be responsible for the
observed morphological variation of some species.
These species can have autogamous and allogamous
flowers during different phases of their life cycle. Taxonomic difficulties sometimes led to different and
somewhat confusing treatments in Floras and other
local studies (Battandier & Trabut, 1904; Fomin, 1907;
Maire, 1932; Rechinger & Schimann-Czeika, 1965;
Damboldt, 1978; Greuter, Burdet & Long, 1984). Thus
a comprehensive study throughout the distribution
area is necessary to understand the group. The object
of this work is to obtain comprehensive information
about these species, to discover useful characters to
define them taxonomically, and to define their geographical distribution.

characters were used in the key, the most discriminant
quantitative characters being inferred from box-plots.
RESULTS
TAXONOMIC
CHARACTERS
Inflorescences, flowers and pedicels: Inflorescences
can vary between dichasia and monochasia, with
many intermediate forms, but the commonest form is
a dichasium. In some cases, the monochasial or dichasial development seems to depend on actual growth
conditions. The exceptions are C. camptoclada, which
always has monochasia, and C. rimarum, with solitary
flowers. Flowers are usually erect but in the case of
C. rimarum, they are pendulous. However, all the species have reflexed pedicels during the fruiting period.
The indumentum of pedicels is useful to discriminate
species because, as previously noted, they can show
one or two types of hairs (Figs 1,2).
Calyx: The calyx is five-lobed, deeply divided, with
reflexed appendages located between the adjacent
lobes. The lobes are ovate, ovate-lanceolate or narrowly lanceolate, but in C. strigosa the lobe apex is
subulate. The length of lobes is a useful discriminating
character: they are longer in C. cecilii, C. reuteriana
and C. macrostyla and shorter in the remaining species. In many cases, the calyx is accrescent and the
appendages are connivent during fruiting, especially
in C. strigosa and C. reuteriana. One species shows a
different type of calyx development: C. stellaris has
fruit with a stellate calyx.
Corolla: The corolla is considerably variable in shape,
varying from tubular-campanulate, campanulate,
broadly campanulate, to nearly rotate. The length is
also variable, from 4 to 5.5 mm long in C. rimarum to
c. 30(40) mm long in C. dichotoma and C. macrostyla.
Most species have lobes dissected from only a third to
a half of the corolla length, but C. semisecta and
C. stellaris have lobes longer than one half of the
corolla length and in C. rimarum they are shorter than
a quarter of the total corolla length. The corolla colour
is violet or violet-blue in subgen. Megalocalyx, with
two exceptions: yellow in C. sulphurea, and reddish to
violet in C. strigosa. The colour in subgen. Sicyocodon
(C. macrostyla) is purple-whitish outside, and inside it
is purple with darker veins.
Androecium: The filaments show two parts: a triangular-ovate (rarely obovate, elliptical or subpentagonal) base and a filiform apex. The base is ciliate in
most species, showing 0.1–0.2 mm long hairs, but in
C. rimarum the base margin is papillate. Campanula
macrostyla has long hairs (c. 1 mm) in the margin. The
abaxial surface can also bear hairs, as occurs in
C. camptoclada, C. cecilii and C. macrostyla. The filiform part of the filament varies in length, from 0–
0.5 mm in most species, to 0.5–2 mm in C. dichotoma,
C. macrostyla, C. saxonorum and C. cecilii. The anthers
are also considerably variable in size, from 3–4.5 mm
long in C. stellaris, to 7–7.5 mm in C. macrostyla. Pollen is spherical, triporate (rarely tetraporate), 18–
30 mm in diameter, and has a surface ornament of
more or less crowded spinules, which are more or less
prominent (Figs 3,4). The density of spinules in the
pollen surface was recorded, and varies from 0.24
spinules mm-2 to 2.68 spinules mm-2. As occurs in other
Campanula species, anthers dehisce while flowers are
still in bud, depositing the pollen on pollen-collecting
hairs of the upper style (Fig. 5).
Gynoecium: The style is included in all species of subgen. Megalocalyx (rarely subexserted in C. propinqua)
and prominently exserted in subgen. Sicyocodon. The
stigma is trilobate in all species of both subgenera.
Campanula macrostyla is characterized by its larger
stigma (12–16 ¥ 3.5–5 mm) with patent lobes at maturity. The pollen-collecting hairs of the style accumulate pollen (Nyman, 1992a,b, 1993). Later, pollen is
retrieved by pollinators and the hairs usually retract
into their expanded bases (Fig. 6). However, there are
two species (C. macrostyla and C. cecilii) which show a
weak or very late invagination of these hairs (Fig. 5).
Capsules and seeds: The fruit of both subgenera is a
3-locular, pendulous capsule, dehiscing by three basal
valves. The capsules are usually hispid, with indumentum distributed on the keels or on the valves. The
indumentum is often deciduous, the mature fruit
being glabrous or glabrescent. The seeds are ±broadly
elliptical, with the surface smooth and shining, the

Habit and leaves: Annuals, showing generally erect
stems (the exception is C. rimarum which is flexuous
and filiform). Stem simple, often dichotomously
branched. Leaves sessile or subsessile, obtuse. The
shape varies between lanceolate, elliptical, ovate and
oblong-lanceolate, with a reticulate venation. The leaf
margin is entire, crenate or finely denticulate. The
indumentum is hispid in leaves and stems of both subgenera, showing rigid unicellular eglandular hairs
(0.5)1–2.2(2.8) mm long. Hair density varies considerably among species included in subgen. Melgalocalyx:
it is dense in C. hierosolymitana, and usually sparse in
C. dichotoma. A few species possess two types of hairs
in pedicels, calyx, capsule and higher parts of stems:
longer patent hairs and shorter more retrorse ones.
This feature is useful in distinguishing some species.
Lower parts of stems and leaves show only one type of
hair. The hair surface is generally granulate (Fig. 1).

colour yellowish to brown. The seeds are rather similar in length (0.7–1.1 mm long), only C. cecilii having
longer seeds (1.2–1.5 mm long).
Chromosome number: Subgenus Megalocalyx shows
several basic numbers: x = 8, 10, 11, 12 (Contandriopoulos, 1972), while subgen. Sicyocodon has x = 10
(Marchal, 1920; Contandriopoulos, 1972; Damboldt,
1978). Processes of dysploidy could explain these numbers (Contandriopoulos, 1972), considering that x = 17
occurs frequently in Campanula (Gadella, 1966). B
chromosomes have been reported in two species,
C. reuteriana and C. rimarum (Contandriopoulos,
1972).
MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS
As previously mentioned (see Material and methods),
DA was used to test the differentiation made using
qualitative characters. The group of more similar species (C. dichotoma, C. hierosolymitana, C. strigosa,
C. saxonorum,
C. propinqua,
C. reuteriana
and
C. camptoclada) was analysed and the results are presented in Figure 7 and Tables 1 and 2. The descriptors
used are: width/length ratio of leaves, calyx length
during fructification (Fig. 8), calyx appendage length
during fructification, corolla length (Fig. 9), ratio lobe
length/total corolla length (Fig. 10), length of the basal
part of the stamen filament (Fig. 11), length of the

narrow part of the stamen filament (Fig. 12), anther
length (Fig. 13), style length, stigma width and ratio
seed width/seed length (Fig. 14). The least discriminating among them were: width/length ratio of leaves,
calyx length during fructification, appendage length
during fructification, and style length. The rest of
characters were sufficiently discriminant (Tables 1,2).
The calyx is longer in several species. The longest
are C. cecilii, C. strigosa, C. saxonorum, C. sulphurea,
C. reuteriana and C. macrostyla (Fig. 8), but they are
more acrescent in C. strigosa and C. reuteriana. In
C. cecilii and C. macrostyla they suffer a proportionally
weaker upgrowth during fructification. The longest
corollas occur in C. cecilii, C. strigosa, C. reuteriana and
C. macrostyla (Fig. 9). However, only two species have
the lobes deeply dissected, C. stellata and C. semisecta
(Fig. 10). As shown in the box-plot (Fig. 12), the filiform part of the filament is very useful in differentiating C. dichotoma, C. cecilii, C. saxonorum and
C. propinqua from all other species of subgen. Megalocalyx. The length of the basal part of the stamen filament differentiates C. propinqua, with lower values
from all others (Fig. 11). The anthers are longer in
C. semisecta,
C. strigosa,
C. sulphurea
and
C. saxonorum, and shorter in the others (Fig. 13). All
these values are considerably higher in C. macrostyla
due to the fact that this species possesses broad flyattracting flowers (Damboldt, 1978). The seeds are
wider in C. strigosa and C. reuteriana, producing a
nearly rounded shape and higher width/length ratios
(Fig. 14).
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
The species of Campanula subgen. Megalocalyx are
native to western Asia, north Africa, south and west
Europe and Macaronesia (Canary Islands). Many species are endemic to relatively small areas, with the
exception of C. dichotoma and C. propinqua (Figs 15–
19). The centre of diversity lies in western Asia,
mainly the area formed by Anatolia, Caucasus, Syria
and Palestine (Fig. 15). The coast of Syria, Lebanon
and Palestine and many zones of the interior of Anatolia are extraordinarily rich in species of C. subgen.
Megalocalyx (Figs 15–19). The monotypic subgenus
Sicyocodon is endemic to south-western Anatolia
(Fig. 15). Conversely, only two species grow in
the western Mediterranean, C. semisecta and
C. dichotoma. Campanula semisecta is endemic to the
south-east of Iberian Peninsula, while C. dichotoma is
widespread in Macaronesia, north Africa, Italy, Sicily
and several other Mediterranean islands (Figs 16,17).

C. semisecta. However, we have studied most of them
and they are not C. semisecta (some of them are misidentifications of C. filicaulis Durieu or C. dichotoma).
Consequently, in our opinion, C. semisecta has not yet
been collected in north Africa.
In our view, the lectotype of C. semisecta var. basiclada should be included within the variation of the
species. There is no evidence of distinction from typical C. semisecta.

Area: north-western Iran, eastern Turkey, and southern Caucasus (Nakhichevan and Georgia).
Phenology: Flowering March – July
Illustration: Fig. 24, Fedorov (1976); pag. 135: 4.
Notes: Campanula propinqua is considerably variable,
mainly in plant size and general shape. This high variability resulted in the description of many taxa.
Victorov & Elenvsky, (1998) proposed including
C. propinqua in C. dichotoma, in order to combine two
rather similar and variable species. However, two
characters discriminate them: the presence of two hair
types in pedicels and fruits of C. propinqua, with only
one type in C. dichotoma; and the different shape of
staminal appendages in both species. In addition, the
divergent chromosome number supports the view that
C. propinqua and C. dichotoma deserve taxonomic recognition at the specific level.
None of the morphological features used by Boissier
(1849) to distinguish C. pestalozzae appear to be constant. Damboldt (1978) included C. pestalozzae within
the the variation of C. propinqua. However,
C. propinqua has a large variabiliy in the size of its
floral parts, and shows no relation with any other
characters or with its ecological and geographical
distribution.
Campanula propinqua var. parviflora Turrill is probably a mere variant of C. propinqua without any taxonomic value. Plants from northern Iran do not differ
from other accessions of the species.

Balearic Islands, Sicily and southern Italy) and Macaronesia (Canary Islands). We have seen only one

in Yugoslavia.
Habitat: Fields, steppes and stony places; 0–1400 m
Phenology: Flowering March – July
Illustration: Sáez & Aldasoro (2001: 128)
Notes: Campanula dichotoma is considerably variable
in size, leaf shape, and flower size. We have cultivated
this species from seeds, and in our opinion the floral
variability is associated with pollination syndrome.
Well developed plants in nutrient-rich sites are usually
allogamous and show larger flowers, but at the end of
the flowering period these plants usually possess only
small, presumably autogamous, flowers. In poor or dry
sites sparse plants are found, with only small flowers.
Plants with smaller corollas were described as
C. kremeri while those with larger corollas were
included in C. afra or C. dichotoma. Later, a plant of the
Canary Islands was described as C. occidentalis
(Nyman, 1991). It has a small corolla, seeming closely
related to C. kremeri. We have not been able to find any
constant morphological feature suggesting that plants
of the Canary Islands merit recognition as a separate
taxon. We have seen the types of all these species and
varieties and after studying them all features suggest
that they belong to one variable species, specialized to
colonize new habitats and exhibiting a great variability
in reproductive behaviour.

REVISION OF CAMPANULA SUBGEN. SICYOCODON AND MEGALOCALYX
Description: Annual 10–30 cm, hispid. Stem erect, simple or dichotomously branched in the upper part, or
from base. Leaves 10–40(60) ¥ 4.2–25 mm, sessile,
entire or nearly so, elliptical to oblong-lanceolate,
obtuse. Flowers in shortly pedunculate dichasia.
Pedicels hispid, hairs 0.9–2 mm long. Calyx 16–
23 ¥ 1.9–3 mm (26.8–29 ¥ 4–4.5 mm in fruit), hairy
along the margin and on nerves, hairs 0.9–1.7 mm long;
lobes 12–18 mm long (20–22 mm long in fruit), lanceolate, subacute; appendages 3.8–6 mm long (6.8–
7 mm long in fruit), ovate, obtuse, usually concealing
ovary in fruit. Corolla 14–35 mm long, divided to 1/3–1/
2, tubular-campanulate, glabrous or hairy on nerves
outside, light violet; lobes 7–13 mm long, triangularovate, obtuse; tube 7–23 mm long. Stamen 6–8.4 mm
long; filiform part of filament 0.8–1 mm long; base 1.5–
2.3 ¥ 1.2–2.2 mm, subpentagonal to suboblong, hairy
on the abaxial surface and on the margin, hairs 0.1–
0.3 mm long; anthers 3–5.1 mm long; pollen 19–24 mm
diameter, with a low density of spinules (0.70–0.75
spinules mm-2). Style 9–11.2 mm long, included. Stigma
1.7–2 ¥ 1–1.5 mm. Capsule 11–12.5 ¥ 9–10 mm, concealed by the acrescent connivent calyx lobes and
appendages, sparsely hairy on the keels (hairs 0.6–
1.8 mm long). Seeds 1.2–1.5 ¥ 0.4–0.5 mm, yellowish.
Chromosome number: 2n = 20 (Sugiura, 1940, 1942).
Area: Northern Iran, northern Iraq and Turkey
Notes: Damboldt (1978) subsumed this species in
C. reuteriana because they only differ in the shape of
the calyx lobes. However, in our opinion they can be
separated via other useful characters. The main one is
stamen shape: the length of filiform part of stamen is
different, being 0.8–1 mm long in C. cecilii, while in
C. reuteriana it is very short or absent (0–0.1 mm
long). The shape of the stamen base is also different:
winged only in C. cecilii (Fig. 20). Moreover, the size of
corolla differs in both species (Fig. 9) and C. reuteriana
presents two types of hairs in the pedicels and capsules, while C. cecilii only presents one.
In addition, C. propinqua [unranked] grandiflora
Milne-Redh. should be referred to Campanula cecilii.
