Crowea Scabra. In general appearance it resembles that genus, 
and requires the same treatment.— Bot. Mag.

Veronica Nivea. A very pretty greenhouse plant, from the

Nepaul by W. Wells, Esq., of Redleaf, in whose garden it has 
flowered. Its distinguishing characters are its remarkably 
slender branches and spines, and the narrow glaucus foliage ; 
the flowers are small, and produced on long stalked umbels. —
