Symphiandra is a genus of Campanulaceae, consisting, so far as is at present known, of only one species. It is simply a peculiar Campanula, and was separated from that genus on the ground of the anthers adhering together somewhat in the manner of the Composites. The only species, S. pendula, syn. Campanula pendula, is a native of the Caucasus. It is a choice and distinct plant, growing 1 foot or 1 1/2 foot high, with erect stems terminating in rather spare spikes of drooping cream-coloured flowers, large and campanulate, and appearing in June and July. It is regarded as being difficult to keep, and by some on this account it has been set down as a biennial, but it is not so. It is, however, very impatient of full exposure to the sun in light dry soils, and delights in a cool somewhat shady situation, as on the north side of rockwork, or a bed of shrubs, where it would escape the scorching effects of the mid-day sun; and in such circumstances it will be found neither troublesome nor fugitive.
