OF NORTH AMERICA, 39 
in gardens, entirely eovered with a soft velvety 
pubescence, but not cinereous as in next, stem 
commonly pedal, radical leaves cespitose varia- 
ble larger some nearly obovate and obtuse, flow- 
ers vernal large handsome pale blue, style cla- 
vate, capsule not seen. 
827. Veronica cinerea Raf. erect cinereous 
villose, leaves alternate oblong cuneate acute* 
subcrenate in the middle, flowers terminal spi- 
cate very dense sessile, bracts lanceol. equal to 
calix, segments unequal ovate obtuse. — From 
Origon also, pedal, leaves uncial, spike terete, 
corollas dark blue or purple (almost brown in 
my specimen) contrasting with the canescent 
calix, stamens very long. Akin to V. incana 
but distinct by leaves $Lc, and also to the two 
preceeding, all three yet very different, this not 
at all racemose. — I have many other doubtful 
Veronicas of North America, and this Genus 
yet requires revisal in sp. as I did in Genera in 
Flora Telluriana. As I have 50 or 60 sp. of 
various parts in my Herbarium, I may hereafter 
write their monograph. 
8-28. QDAGMIS Raf. calix 4parted decidu- 
ous, 4 small petals nearly similar and equal, 
stamens 4 hypogynous, filaments short, anthers 
bilobe. Ovary free globular umbilicate, styles 
2 extremely short. Capsule membranaceous 
utricular globular bilocular, with 2 or few seeds, 
opening by the concave umhiiic above. Creep- 
ing annual herb , leaves and flowers fascicu- 
late . — A very singular N. G. of my nat. order 
Isostimia, and probably my family Galenioia, 
with Galenia, Florkea Sl c ; also aide to Empe- 
t rides which only differ by a berry as in Em- 
petrum and Phytolaca. The habit is very pe-
