Cyananthus formosus is a species of perennial flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae.

In Mandarin the species is known as 美丽蓝钟花 (mei li lan zhong hua).

The calyx is densely covered with long stiff hairs of a pal brown color.

The ovary has five locii and is nearly as long as the calyx tube and the style is extended up to the throat of the corolla.

[3] Cyananthus formosus is found in China in southwest Sichuan and northwest Yunnan near the localities of Muli, Heqing, Lijiang, and Zhongdian.

[2] Cyananthus formosum is a perennial flowering plant which blooms in late spring and early summer.

While it is no longer in cultivation,[4] the species is appropriate for Alpine gardens, and when placed in a container it requires excellent drainage.
