the Genus Veronica. IQI 
circumftance of the hairs being articulated like a conferva, is 
common to both plants, as well as the ferrated leaves. We 
may rejoice to get rid of fo uncouth a trivial name as kamt- 
fchatica; and indeed all trivial names taken from the countries 
of plants, are now generally laid afide by the more accurate 
and fcientific botanifts. 
ue 5 V. alpina is now certainly known to grow in Britain, having 
been found in the Highlands of Scotland by Mr. Dickfon in 
1786, and not before in this ifland; what has been taken for 
it being either a large variety of V. ferpyllifolia, or V. fruti- 
culofa. 
28. V. multifida. The fynonym of Buxbaum applied by Linnæus 
to this plant, belongs in fact toV.orientalis, Hort. Kew.* The 
real V. multifida is only known by an original fpecimen in 
the Linnean Herbarium from Siberia, by which it appears to 
be totally diftinét from V. auftriaca (with which moft people 
confound it) and all the varieties of that plant. Its leaves are 
multipartite, their lacini sss with the lobes decur- 
rent. 
Calyx — perfectly fmooth. 
— It appears not to turn black or brown in drying, as V. 
auftriaca does. 
The fynonyms of Jacq. Flo. Auftr. t. 329, quoted by 
Murray, ought of courfe to be excluded. i 
30, V. latifolia, To this fpecies is now by common confent referred 
.. the V. pfeudo-chamædrys of Jacquin, which indeed fcarcely 
can be deemed even a variety. V. Teucrium. and V. pilofa of 
Linnzus feem alfo to belong to the fame fpecies; but, as I 
* V. heterophylla. -Salifb. Ic. tab. 4.
