" Veronica Americana Schwein., a nearly allied species, which 

 has likewise petioled leaves, was growing with it in some places, 

 but its procumbent, far less robust stems and its smaller, ovate 

 or lance-ovate, sharply serrated leaves furnished a striking con- 

 trast. In seeing them thus together even an unpracticed eye 

 could not have failed to distinguish the one from the other. 

 Intermediate forms were wholly wanting, so that the conjecture 

 that it either must be an abnormal growth of that species, or 

 a new variety is wide of the mark." 



Flowering from late May to early October, and soon ripening 

 fruit.
