575. V. officinalis, L. 



Native ; on dry banks and in heathy pastures. Common, 

 especially on the Mendips. VI. VIII. 



576. V. hybrida, L. 



Native ; on the more inaccessible ledges of St. Vincent's 

 Ptocks, still plentiful. 



Although there appears to be no important character to 

 separate F. hybrida from V. spicata, L., yet it is 

 generally considered that our plants and those of the 

 Welsh coast belong to the former. This is the most 

 handsome of our native Veronicas. It attains its 

 southern limit in this country on St. Vincent's Rocks, 

 where it flourishes in great luxuriance and beauty, the 

 plants being at least as large again as those we have 

 seen on the Great Ormshead. VII. VIII. 



577. V. serpyllifolia, L. 



Native ; in damp places by roadsides, very common. 



578. V. arvensis, L. IV. vir. 



Native ; in dry gravelly places and on cultivated land, 

 very common. IV. VII. 



(V. tripliijllos, L. Dr. Stephens informed Mr. Flower that 

 Swete's record for this plant " about Stapletou Mill " 

 was an error.) 



579. V. agrestis, L. 



Native. A very common weed on cultivated land. IV. IX. 



580. V. polita, Fries.
