1.5 mm
wide, widest at base, glabrous, with 1 pair of verrucose-denticules at near base. Corolla pale purple, glabrous, nearly rotate, cleft to near base: corolla tube ca.
2 mm
long; corolla lobes ovate-lanceolate,

Notes
:—This new species is characteristic of its corolla rotate, anthers connivent arounding the style during the whole anthesis, flowers solitary, and leaves narrow-elliptic to linear. Therefore, it differs distinctly from the most similar species
Campanula chinensis
