This is an. American, Australian, and South African. form ; the Abys- 
sinian is the common European one, which also grows in South Africa. 
2. VERONICA (VERONICASTRUM) Manni, H.f. Caule e basi de- 
cumbente erecto simplieiusenlo bifariam pubescente foliato, foliis

Hab. Ad cacumen Clarence Peak, alt. 10,700 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Herba gracilis, pedalis. Caule tereti basi radicante. Folia $" long., sub- 
coriacea. Racemus brevis v. elongatus. Flores breve pedicellati, cerulei 
i'"expans. Calycis lobi oblongi, obtusi, capsulam equantes. 
Very nearly allied to V. glandulosa, Hochst., of Abyssinia, but, as far as 
the several excellent specimens of both show, quite distinct in the narrow 
leaves and sepals, and bracts shorter than the flowers. It may well, how- 
ever, prove to be a variety of that plant. 
PLANTAGINEEX.
