The bristle bellflower ( Campanula cervicaria ) is a species of the bellflower family (Campanulaceae).
features
The bristle bellflower is a biennial to perennial plant and reaches heights of 40 to 80 cm. It forms thick, deep roots . The spreading of the basal leaves as well as the leaves in the lower stem area have an elongated-lanceolate leaf shape , they are widest in the middle and narrow into the winged petiole. The leaves and the stem are hairy, stiff and bristly. The upper stem leaves are eilanzettlich and sessile.
The inflorescence consists of a head-like, terminal clusters of flowers and, lower down, further, but few-flowered partial inflorescences. The flowers are light blue, 12 to 20 mm long and have a funnel to bell shape. They are seated and hairy on the outside. The sepals are less than half as long as the corolla tube, narrowly ovate, blunt and hairy. The bays between the calyx tips are also blunt and have no appendages. The stylus mostly protrudes from the crown. Flowering time is June and July, pollination is mainly done by bees ( melittophilia ). The fruit is a multi-seeded capsule , stands upright, is hairy and opens near the lower end with three pores.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 34.
Distribution and locations
The area of the bristle bellflower extends from Central Europe to Western Siberia. In Germany it is considered critically endangered. In Austria it is rare, classified as endangered and only occurs in Burgenland, Lower Austria, Styria and Carinthia. In Switzerland it occurs almost only in the Central Plateau and is considered to be endangered nationwide.
The bristle bellflower grows in damp meadows, on fringes and in light forests. It occurs mainly on fresh, rather chalky soils of the colline to montane altitude range . It occurs in societies of the associations Molinion, Geranion sanguinei, Carpinion or the order Quercetalia pubescentis.
