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. Rock-faces from the coast-line to 3,000 ft., New Zeal. B.M. 5484. G.C. III. 38:242; 48:444. Gn. 64, p. 115; 77, p. 134. G.M. 47:389; 55:195. R.H. 1906:40. V. Fairfieldii, Hook, f., is said to be a hybrid between the above and V. Lavaudiana. It is a smaller, stouter plant with smaller lvs., 1 in. long, the margins crenate-dentate and reddish, and the panicle is shorter and broader. B.M. 7323. Gn.W. 5:709 (as V. fairfieldiensis). V. Lavaudiana, Raoul, is a handsome shrub 6-9 in. high with broadly obovate or obovate-spatulate lvs., their margins crenate-serrate and margined with red and short spikes arranged in a many-fld. corymb 2 in. diam.: fls. pink in the bud but finally white. B.M. 7210. G.C. III. 9:784.
