Veronica hulkeana, F. v. M. Extremely showy, moderately hardy, lilac-fld. species readily distinguished by its shining, coarsely serrate, ovate lvs., 1-2 in. long, and terminal panicles slender, erect, laxly branched, 1-3 ft. high: lvs. in distant pairs, 1-2 in. long, ovate to oblong, obtuse or acute, coarsely serrate, dark green, glossy, rather fleshy: panicle 6-12 in. long by 2-6 in. broad: fls. very numerous, small, sessile, pale soft lilac: caps. small, oblong, twice length of calyx.
