Veronica gentianoides, Vahl (V. glaber, Hort.). Erect, slender, tufted species 6-24 in. high, from creeping roots: lvs. obovate or oblong, some lanceolate or linear, thickish, entire or small crenate, smooth, 1-3 in. long; root-lvs. more or less in rosettes; upper lvs. bract-like, smaller and narrower: raceme elongated, leafy, many-fld., hairy: fls. pale blue, with darker streaks, on long pedicels: caps. nearly round, slightly notched, exceeding the calyx. Wet alpine fields, S. E. Eu. B.M. 1002. —A hardy species in any soil or location, shade-enduring though not necessarily shade-loving, blooming early. Prop. by division. Forms a mat and makes a good ground-cover for bare spots in midsummer; also a valuable border plant. One of the earliest. Var. alba, Hort., is a white-fld. form. Var. foliis variegatis, Hort., see var. variegata. Var. pallida, Hort., is offered in the trade as a variety with pale porcelain-blue fls. Var. pallidiflora, Hort., is a trade name, perhaps the same as var. pallida. Var. stenophylla, Hort., is a narrow-lvd. form. Var. variegata, Hort., is offered in the trade as having lvs. variegated with creamy white. G.M. 54:575.
