The correct name of the species currently called Campanula canescens or C. benthamii in Asian floristic literature is shown to be C. dimorphantha . The distribution of the species is mapped and its occurrence in both Africa and Asia is confirmed. Both cleistogamous and normal flowers may be produced in plants of C. dimorphantha . The adaptive significance of this dimorphism is briefly discussed.
