A taxonomic revision of Campanula L. subgenus Sicyocodon (Feer) Damboldt and subgenus Megalocalyx Damboldt (Campanulaceae)

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.
