104 .. Dn.Surrn's Remarks on 
- Capfule obcordate, downy. 
Tournefort gathered this plant in the corn-fields of dapit- 
docia. It may be inferted into the Syftema Veg. next to V. aci- 
nifolia. 
I fhall conclude this paper with the two following fpecies of 
Veronica, defcribed at the fame time from Tournefort’s Herbarium. 
V. gentianoides *, corymbo terminali hirfuto, foliis radicalibus lance- 
olatis acutis fubcrenatis nudis. kpss 
V. orientalis erecta Gentianelle foliis. Tourn. Corol. et Herb. 
V. erecta Blattariæ facie. Buxb. C. 1, p. 23, t. 35. -> 
‘Gathered by Tournefort in Cappadocia, by Buxbaum in Arme-

next akin, though perfcétly diftinct. -

crenate, marked with three» nerves, perfectly. fmooth, pale and
