TIvi;i;in Veronica. By Robert Lindsay. 



(Read Uth July 1898.) 



The shrubby Veronica which I now show you in flower 

 is a hybrid of V. ampler icaidis, a white flowered species 

 from Xew Zealand, and V. inmdioide'^, a blue flowered 

 species, also from Xew Zealand. The intermediate hybrid 

 partakes rather more of amiylcxicaulis, except in the colour 

 of the flowers, which are pink instead of white ; the leaves 

 of the hybrid are different from ((viplcxicaidis in being 

 darker green in coloar, and not so large as amplcxicanlis. 

 It is now in flower with me for the first time, and is one- 

 of the best of a batch of seedlings that have yet come intO' 

 blossom.
