Campanula bellidifolia subsp. saxifraga (M.Bieb.) Victorov
Synonym: Campanula saxifraga M.Bieb.
Description:
First described as Campanula saxifraga in 1808, this Caucasian perennial has had a complex taxonomic history. It was later treated as C. tridentata var. saxifraga and Hemisphaera saxifraga, before Victorov published it as C. bellidifolia subsp. saxifraga in 2001. That name is now considered a synonym of C. saxifraga. It forms a compact mound with trailing stems bearing blue to purple flowers up to 4cm across.
