hairy. Corolla one-petaled, four-cleft ; /acinie unequal, lower- 
moft white, not one-third the fize of the upper and lateral 
ones, which are beautifully freaked with dark blue yeins on 
awhitifh ground. F/laments two, divaricate, inferted into the

Our plant differs from Dr. Smirun’s defcription, in having — 
its radical leaves not altogether without pubefcence ; flowers 
not deep blue, but only ftreaked with that colour; and efpecially 
in having the fegments of the calyx not equal, the two lower 
ones being confiderably the largeft, as defcribed by Vaut. 
This ornamental fpecies of Veronica is a hardy alpine plant, 
of eafy culture, and readily propagated by parting its roots: 
was found by Tougneroxt and Forsxout in Cappadocia, 
by Buxsaum in Armenia by the way-fide and the margins of © 
- fields, and by S1sruorp on his journey to the Eaft. : 
Flowers in May and June. Communicated by Mr. Lop- 
DIGEs in 1805, who raifed it from feeds received from Mount 
Caucafus.
