rather spiked than corymbose. Flowers pale pink, or flesh- 

 coloured, veined, on partial stalks which are much lengthened, 

 and the calyx enlarged, after flowering. Caps, rather elliptical 

 and abrupt, longer than the calyx, soon splitting into 4 acute 

 valves. Seeds flattish, smooth. The plant is by no means hairy, 

 but rather downy, as is very exactly expressed in Engl. Bot.

Found on Ben Lawers by Mr. Dickson and others ; on Mael 

 Greadha in Breadalbane, by Mr. Borrer. 



Perennial. July. 



Of more humble and spreading growth than the last. Leaves 

 smaller, serrated about their middle, dull green. Flowers from 

 3 to 6 only, in each corymbose, not spiked, cluster ,- their stalks 

 finely downy, twice or thrice as long as the bracteas. Cor. large, 

 beautiful, of a fine blue, pink at the mouth. Caps, much like 

 the last. 



V. nummularia of Gouan, and pygmcea of Schrank, are perhaps, as 

 Schrader observes, unjustly referred to this species. 



5. V. alpina. Alpine Speedwell. 



Cluster terminal, dense, corymbose. Leaves ovate, 

 smoothish, somewhat serrated. Calyx fringed. Stem 

 ascending, simple.
