Campanula petiolata A.P. de Candolle
Campanula rotundifolia is a small herb which is sometimes weakly ascending. The flower
has five fused petals and is usually drooping. The herbage is surprisingly inconspicuous compared to the flower. In fact, the plant's name is somewhat misleading. The rounded and mostly cordate basal leaves usually fall off before the plant flowers. At the time of flowering, the only leaves visible are the linear ones on the stem. Campanula rotundifolia is found in middle to upper elevations where moisture is more available in the Gila National Forest.
