Type: Nepal, Wallich 1293.1 (K-Wall.; isotypes E, W).

Distribution: Nepal, Kumaon and Bhutan.

I have not seen any specimens of this species from Pakistan but Rechinger & Schimann-Czeika in Flora Iranica have cited Harsukh, 20579 from Singarah, Baluchistan. The type of Campanula sylvatica is from Nepal and the species also grows in Kumaon and Bhutan. It is not likely that this species grows in Baluchistan. Harsukh’s specimen may belong to the next taxon.
