To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The generic name signifies a little bell, in obvious allusion to the form of the flower, which, as our readers will readily perceive by a glance at our sketch of the plant, is very bell-like in form. The specific name does not so clearly carry its meaning on the face of it. The word means round-leaved, while a second glance at our illustration at once shows us that the leaves are certainly not rounded in form at all, but decidedly long and narrow, much longer and narrower than the great majorit...y of the leaves of our plants ; the name, therefore, at first sight appears almost ludicrously inappropriate. The name, we must confess, does not appear to us a very happy one ; but it has some justification, as the lower leaves of the plant are considerably broader than the upper, and those that spring at the base of the stem might very justly be called round leaves. These are, however, rarely seen, partly because they are generally hidden by the other herbs in the midst of which the plant grows, partly because they wither away long before the rest of the plant ordinarily succumbs to climatic influences and the onward march of the year, and will not, therefore, always be found, even if searched for.
