VERONICA PERFOLIATA. 
Class, Order. 
DIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of New South Wales, introduced 
a few years since. It grows to two feet 
and upwards in height, flowering near the 
topin long clusters of many blossoms, which 
continue in succession through the spring 
and summer. 
It is a kind of herbaceous plant, but con- 
stantly retains some foliage, as it does not 
lose the preceding year's growth till new 
shoots have been formed ; this process takes 
place very rapidly during the commence- 
ment of spring. 
It requires the greenhouse, and may be 
increased by cuttings or division of the 
roots, which should be performed in the 
spring. The soil in whieh it thrives ex- 
tremely well is light loam.
