Veronica glaucophylla, Cockayne (V. Colensoi var. glauca, Hort.). Closely related to V. Traversii but at once distinguished by the small, narrow, not keeled, glaucous lvs., slender tapering racemes of white fls., short corolla-tube hairy within and pubescent ovary. Summer. Dry montane and subalpine stations, New Zeal. —There are several forms of this striking fairly hardy shrub quite distinct for garden purposes, one of which is known as V. Colensoi var. glauca nana, Hort. The species is unrelated to V. Colensoi, Hook, f.; a plant not yet in cult., which has the fls. in corymbs (B.M. 7296).
