subrotundje, biloculares, flavse. Ovarium compressum, orbiculare, 

 aspere pubescens, integrum. Stylus capillaris, glaber, corollam 

 superans. Stigma capitatum, exiguum. 



This is a very distinct and well-marked species, with the 

 habit of V. saxatilis, but there is none with which it can be 

 confounded, and if introduced to our gardens it would prove 

 an interesting addition to the rock-work. Its cuneiform, 

 deeply crenate leaves, and rough pubescent fruit will serve 

 to distinguish it from saxatilis, as well as from every other 

 shrubby species. 



Veronica grandiflora. 



V. annua, erecta, glanduloso-pubescens ; floribus solitariis, segmentis 

 calycinis linearibus obtusis, corolla calyce triple longiore : laciniis 

 rhombeo-ovatis subunguiculatis, foliis inferioribus petiolatis ovatis 

 crenatis ; superioribus sessilibus, pinnatifidis tripartitisve. 



Habitat in Caria ad Meandrum fluviura, et prope Mylasam. Floret 

 Martio. 



Radix fibrosa, annua. Caulis erectus, filiformis, simplex v. raraosus, 

 copiose glanduloso-pubescens, purpurascens, bipollicaris. Cotyle- 

 dones adhuc persistentes, subreniformes, integerrimEe, petiolatse. 

 Folia inferiora brevissime petiolata, ovata, obtusa, crenata, 3-5 

 lineas longa, utrinque pilis brevissimis articulatis, at rar5 glandu- 

 liferis, copiose vestita ; superior a sessUia, pinnatifida v. tripartita : 

 segmentis linearibus, obtusis, integerrimis ; tcrminali majori, sub- 

 spathulato. Flores in apice caulis axillares, solitarii, pedunculati. 

 Pedunculi capUlares, copiose glanduloso-pubescentes, foliis tripar- 

 titis ter longiores. Calyx copiosfe glanduloso-pubescens, 4-partitus : 

 segmentis linearibus, obtusis ; 2 anterioribus majoribus. Corolla om- 

 nium maxima, diametro semuncialis et ultra, cyanea : tubo bre- 

 vissimo, luteo : limbo profunde 4-partito : laciniis rhombeo-ovatis, 

 obtusis, basi angustata lutea subunguiculatis ; anticd minore. Sta- 

 mina coroUa multoties breviora : filamenta gracilia, glabra, lute- 

 scentia : anther (e cordato-oblongse, obtusse, violaceae. Ovarium sub- 

 rotundum, glabrum, integrum. Stylus corolla longior, capillaris, 

 glaber, superne incrassatus, subclavatus. Stigma parvum, subca- 

 pitatum. Capsulam nondum vidi. 



A truly elegant little plant, well deserving of being added 

 to the catalogue of ornamental annuals, from the size and 

 beauty of its flowers. Its deeply pinnatifid and tripartite 

 leaves, with entire linear or spathulate segments, will readily 

 distinguish it from the V. amcena of Steven, and from V. pu- 

 inila, from Mount Haemus, described and figured in the se- 

 cond volume of Dr. Clarke's Travels, at page 559.
