Campanula (Cam-pá-nu-la) is one of several genera of in the family Campanulaceae with the common name bellflower. It takes its name from their bell-shaped flowers—campanula is Latin for "little bell".

 

By the way: the Brothers Grimm's tale Rapunzel gave its name to this plant!

 

Campanula species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species.
