subrotundfle, biloculares, flavse. Ovarium compressum, orbiculare, 

 aspere pubescens, integrum. Stylus capillaris, glaber, corollam 

 superans. Stigma capitatum, exiguum. 



This is a very distinct and well-marked species^ with the 

 habit of V, saxatilisy but there is none with which it can be 

 confounded, and if introduced to our gardens it would prove 

 an interesting addition to the rock-work. Its cuneiform, 

 deeply crenate leaves, and rough pubescent fruit will serve 

 to distinguish it from saxatilis, as well as from every other 

 shrubby species. 



Veronica grandiflora. 



V. annua, erecta, glanduloso-pubescens ; floribus solitariis, segmentis 

 calycinis hnearibus obtusis, corolla calyce tripI6 longiore : laciniis 

 rhombeo-ovatis subunguiculatis, foliis inferioribus petiolatis ovatis 

 crenatis ; superioribus sessilibus, pinnatifidis tripartitisve. 



Habitat in Caria ad Meandrum.fluvium, et prope Mylasam. Floret 

 Martio. 



Radix fibrosa, annua. Caulis erectus, filiformis, simplex v. ramosus, 

 copies^ glanduloso-pubescens, purpurascens, bipollicaris. Cotyle- 

 dones adhuc persistentes, subreniformes, integerrimse, petiolatse. 

 Folia inferiora brevissimfe petiolata, ovata, obtusa, crenata, 3-5 

 lineas longa, utrinque pilis brevissimis articulatis, at rar5 glandu- 

 liferis, copiose vestita ; superiora sessilia, pinnatifida v. tripartita : 

 segmentis linearibus, obtusis, integerrimis ; tcrminali majori, sub- 

 spathulato. Flores in apice caulis axillares, solitarii, pedunculati. 

 Pedunculi capillares, copiose glanduloso-pubescentes, foliis tripar- 

 titis ter longiores. Calyx copios^ glanduloso-pubescens, 4-partitus : 

 segmentis linearibus, obtusis ; 2 anteriorihus majoribus. Corolla om- 

 nium maxima, diametro semuncialis et ultra, cyanea : tuho bre- 

 vissimo, luteo : limbo profundi 4-partito : laciniis rhombeo-ovatis, 

 obtusis, basi angustata lutea subunguiculatis ; anticd minore. Sta- 

 mina coroUa multoties breviora : filamenta gracilia, glabra, lute- 

 scentia : anthera cordato-oblongse, obtusse, violacese. Ovarium sub- 

 rotundum, glabrum, integrum. Stylus corolla longior, capillaris, 

 glaber, superne incrassatus, subclavatus. Stigma parvum, subca- 

 pitatum. Capsulam nondum vidi. 



A truly elegant little plant, well deserving of being added 

 to the catalogue of ornamental annuals, from the size and 

 beauty of its flowers. Its deeply pinnatifid and tripartite 

 leaves, with entire linear or spathulate segments, will readily 

 distinguish it from the V, amcena of Steven, and from V, pvr- 

 mila, from Mount Haemus, described and figured in the se- 

 cond volume of Dr. Clarke's Travels, at page 559. 



Phlomis lycia.
