- BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
larger form of V. spicata with different leaves, rather than a form 
(of spicata), to which in Sweden at least the name of hybrida has 
- been given, but which is in no way like the Linnean plant. Of 
this latter only one specimen is known. It can hardly be consi- 
dered a species. 
9. saxatilis, written by an unknown and more recent hand; and 
on a label distinct from the paper by another hand, scarcely that 
of Linnzus, No. 2, Veronica fruticulosa. The plant is 
.. 10. fruticulosa, Island. Linn., saxatilis, J.E.S., Smith. — Without 
name, number, or locality ; but attached to a paper which con- 
tains V. alpina are specimens which belong to saxatilis. 
19. agrestis 21., Linn., by whom correction is made, for the name 
first written, arvensis ; although the number 21, Sp. Pl. ed. 1. 
refers to the latter, not to the former species.— The characters 
indeed quite accord with No. 20, agrestis, Sp. Pl. and Fl. Suee., 
but they belong to that form which is never distinguished by the 
. name of polita, as indicated by the large, ovato-lanceolate, nerved 
acute calycine segments, the shining nearly glabrous ovato-oblong 
— leaves, and the habit of the plant. 
- 91. hederifolia vera, Smith. No remark by Linnzus,—It is the V. 
. hederifolia, Linn. Fl. Suec. (where the “ leaflets of the calyx " are 
said to be “ cordate ") and of recent Swedish authors; and is re- 
 markable for the leaves being rounded from a cordate base, 3—5- 
lobed, and the segments of the calyx being triangular-cordate acu- 
minated and ciliated. 
22. hederifolia 22. Linn., and by Smith is added 8 (although in Spec. 
Plant. ed. 1. a only, not 8 of this species, is so). From the pre- 
. eeding species (21) the present is distinguished by its whole ap- 
pearance and by the following characters: the segments of the 
calyx are obovate or elliptical, obtuse, the stem is thicker, more _ 
erect, the leaves are approximate, cuneate at the base, or decurrent - 
into the petiole; all which marks do not well tally with V. hederi- — 
- folia, Spec. Plant., and Fl. Suec., but quite accord with V. persica, - 
or Buxbaumii of modern authors. 
. 96. peregrina, Linnæus, as well as locality; H. U.—' The specimen - 
is no way different from the one which precedes it in the herba- 
rium, V. romana, to which Smith also has written “ peregrina 
~ eadem est,” Both the specimens however agree, not with V. pe-
