#823 They called me Campanula rotundifolia, also known as Campanula hostii, Campanula lostrittii, Campanula wiedmannii, and Campanula bielzii. I pay homage to the male botanists Nicolaus Thomas Host, Lostritt (I couldn’t find his records), Wiedmann (I couldn’t find his records), and Bielz (I couldn’t find his records). They first catalogued me in 1753.
