CAMPANULACEAE

Campanula

FAC

This species is sometimes placed in the genus Campanulastrum (Morin 2020). This species is closely related to Legousia and Triodanis (Roquet et al. 2008; Wendling et al. 2011; Crowl et al. 2014; Xu & Hong 2020).

Campanula floridana

Campanula

OBL

Though considered endemic to Florida, collections made in 2013 from a cemetery in Mobile Co., AL are considered to be introduced there. The genus Rotanthella was described to include only C. floridana (Morin 2020). Campanula americana and C. floridana are closely related to Triodanis, and there was an intimation these two species could also be placed in the genus Legousia together with Triodanis (Xu & Hong 2020).

ROBINS' BELLFLOWER; CHINSEGUT BELLFLOWER

CAMPANULACEAE

FACW

A close relative of this rare endemic appears to be C. aparinoides, found primarily in northeastern North America (Shetler & Morin 1986; Mansion et al. 2012). The genus Protocodon was described to include only C. robinsiae (Morin 2020), while Xu & Hong (2020) suggested C. robinsiae could be part of a genus containing several species all from North America that "share a number of morphological characters, pollen, and chromosomal features."

Listed Status:	(Florida):Source - Plants in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act. Chapter 5B-40, Florida Administrative Code. 1998, amended.
Endangered:	A species of plants native to the state that are in imminent danger of extinction within the state, the survival of which is unlikely if the causes of a decline in the number of plants continue, and includes all species determined to be endangered or threatened pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
Threatened:	Listed as Threatened Plants in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act. Defined as species of plants native to the state that are in rapid decline in the number of plants within the state, but which have not so decreased in such number as to cause them to be endangered.

Listed Status: US	(U.S.) Source - List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
