the Fairfield Nursery (New Zealand), and that it is presum- 
ably a hybrid. The species does not exist in the Kew Her- 
barium, and I have searched in vain through the volumes 
of “The Transactions” of “The New Zealand Insti- 
tute,” where many lately discovered species have been de- | 
scribed, for any account of it. It is one of rich collections 
of New Zealand Veronicas in the Edinburgh Botanical 
Gardens, when it flowered in May of the present year, as 
did a plant of it in my own garden (in Surrey), which was 
kindly given me by Dr. Balfour.—J. D. H.
