VERONICA ORIENTALIS. 
Class. Order. 
DIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Levant : it was cultivated 
in 1759, by Miller, and is a pretty little 
herbaceous plant, growing about a foot in 
height, with many slender branching stalks. 
'The flowers are delicate: they come out in 
May, lasting a considerable time in suc- 
cession. It is quite hardy, and may be 
kept either in a pot, which we prefer, or 
planted in the ground, in which case it at- 
tains to a much greater size. It will grow 
in almost any soil, and is propagated by 
division of the roots, for which the spring 
is the best season.
