Namacodon schinzianum is a species of plant in the family Campanulaceae, endemic to Namibia. It was originally described by Friedrich Markgraf in 1941 as Prismatocarpus schinzianus, but was moved to its own genus, Namacodon by Mats Thulin in 1974. [2] It is known from fewer than 20 populations, all among rocks at 800–2,000 metres (2,600–6,600 ft) altitude. [1]
The family Campanulaceae, of the order Asterales, contains nearly 2400 species in 84 genera of herbaceous plants, shrubs, and rarely small trees, often with milky sap. Among them are several familiar garden plants belonging to the genera Campanula (bellflower), Lobelia, and Platycodon (balloonflower). Campanula rapunculus and Codonopsis lanceolata are eaten as vegetables. Lobelia inflata, L. siphilitica and L. tupa and others have been used as medicinal plants. Campanula rapunculoides may be a troublesome weed, particularly in gardens, while Legousia spp. may occur in arable fields.
