In 1907, R. H. Beddome published a list of the Campanula species found in cultivation. Until recently it has been overlooked that Beddome validated two species names in this publication. Campanula lacei Duthie ex Bedd. is a species from the Himalayas of North-West India. It is lectotypified here and shown to be a synonym of Adenophora himalayana Feer. One of the syntypes of this species was collected from the far west of Nepal, but Adenophora has been overlooked in recent enumerations of the flora of Nepal. Campanula pelia Haussk. ex Bedd. is a species from Thessaly, Greece, and is the correct name for the taxon variously referred to as Campanula andrewsii var. pelia Halácsy or Campanula thessala Maire.
