Scouler’s Bellflower, also called Scouler’s Harebell and Pale Bellflower, Campanula scouleri, grows mixed with other low-growing plants at low to middle elevations on the Olympic Peninsula. It is closely related to Bluebells of Scotland and Piper’s Bellflower. The small flowers are bright white, with touches of blue as the flower ages.

The species was named for the Scottish naturalist John Scouler, who accompanied the famous botanist of the Northwest, David Douglas on an early 1800s trip to the Galapagos Islands and then to the Columbia River.
