Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Veronica salicifolia, Forst. f. A collective species containing many distinct varieties. The most common form is a moderately hardy much-branched shrub attaining at times a height of 10 ft.: lvs. lanceolate, 2-6 in. long, acute, entire or slightly toothed near apex, rather thin, pale green, glabrous: racemes slender, many-fld., 3-10 in. long: fls. small, numerous, frequently tinged lilac, sweet-scented: caps. almost twice as long as calyx. Midsummer. New Zeal. Var. Kirkii, Cheesem. (V. Kirkii, J. B. Armstg.). Shrub, 6-12 ft. high; branches stout, dark brown: lvs. smaller, 3/4 – 1 1/2 in. long, oblong or oblong lanceolate, leathery: racemes 4-8 in. long: fls. white, 1/4 in. across: caps. broadly ovate, acute, hoary-pubescent. New Zeal. V. gigantea, Cockayne, confined to the Chatham Isls., a tree 40 ft. high, is closely related to V. salicifolia but is less hardy. V. rotundata, T. Kirk, another allied species, has much broader lvs. and handsome violet-purple fls. There is a fine variegated form of V. salicifolia only recently brought into cult. in New Zeal. V. salicifolia readily hybridizes with its allies and various hybrids exist but there is no uniformity in their names. V. carnea, J. B. Armstg., with rose-colored fls. has probably the above species as a parent.
