I am unable to maintain this as a distinct species, notwithstanding its 
apparent divergence from the typical form.

Mr. Buchanan states the trunk is 8 feet in diameter ; but the largest 
specimen I have seen would scarcely be more than 8 feet in circumference. 
Veronica chathamica, J. Buchanan ; Trans. N.Z. Inst., VIL., p. 338, pl. XIII., 
LL 
A distinct species with wiry procumbent stems; racemes puberulous, 
capsules longer than the calyx, narrowed at both ends. 
Not agreeing in habit with any other of the fruticose species, but 
approaching V. ligustrifolia and V. parviflora in the racemes, calyx, and 
capsule. The racemes become elongated and lose the early obtuse character 
so well shown in Mr. Buchanan’s drawing. ‘

Veronica vernicosa, Hook., f., var. anomala. 
V. anomala, Armstrong ; Trans. N.Z. Inst., IV., p. 291. 
A plant of this abnormal form kindly given me by Mr. Armstrong, 
flowered at midsummer after three years’ cultivation, and presented charac- 
ters somewhat at variance with those in the original description. 
Flowers, sessile, in 1-8 terminal, 5-10-flowered spikes; sepals 3, 
obtuse ; tube of corolla elongated, segments usually 8 (rarely 4), spreading c 
narrow; stamens 2; capsule slightly turgid, and rarely exceeding the 2
