226 VERONICA FILIFORMIS. 



of the calyx; while in V. filiformis the flowers equal 

 those of V. Chamcedrys in size, and are little inferior in 

 beauty. It is necessary to substitute the following cha- 

 racter of V. agrestis for that at page 7 : " Stem spread- 

 ing, hairy ; leaves ovate, deeply serrate, the lower ones 

 opposite ; flowerstalks about equal to the leaves in length, 

 curved when in fruit; corolla shorter than the calyx; 

 seeds cupped." 



For the above synonyma I am indebted to Mr WINCH. 

 It may be considered a very valuable addition to the 

 history of the species, since it is founded on specimens 

 received from TENORE, MEYER, SCHLEICHER, and 

 ARNOTT, who gave him the Montpellier plant, which 

 must be DECANDOLLE'S. Mr WINCH has also British 

 specimens from BORRER and E. FORSTER. The former 

 botanist found it several years ago near Henley in Sus- 

 sex, and communicated specimens to Sir J. E. SMITH 

 and others ; but it is singular that no notice is taken of it 

 in the English Flora, nor, so far as we know, in any work 

 on the botany of this island.
