76 PROSERPINA. 



ground ; as any gentle student will feel, who copies this 



outline from the Flora Danica, Fig. 5. 



12. Peregrina. Another extremely small variety, 

 nearly pink in colour, passing in- 

 to bluish lilac and white. Amer- 

 ican ; but called, I do not see 

 why, ' Veronique voyageusej by 

 the French, and Fremder Ehren- 

 preis in Germany. Given as a 

 frequent English weed in S. 927. 



13. Alpina. Veronique des 

 Alpes. Gebirgs Ehrenpreis. Still 

 minute ; its scarcely distinct 

 flowers forming a close head 

 among the leaves; round petal- 

 led in D. 16, but sharp, as usual, 

 in S. 980. On the Norway 

 Alps in grassy places ; and in 

 Scotland by the side of moun- 

 tain rills; but rare. On Ben 

 Nevis and Lachin y Gair (S.) 



14. Scutellata. From the 

 shield-like shape of its seed-ves- 

 sels. Veronique a Ecusson ; 



FlG - V " Schildf ruchtiger Ehrenpreis. 



But the seed-vessels are more heart shape than shield. 

 Marsh Speedwell. S. 988, D. 209, in the one pink, 

 in the other blue ; but again in D. .1561, pink.
