Editorial Note

For hybrids in Veronica sect. Hebe, especially Veronica × lewisii refer to Garnock-Jones (2008).

A shrub of dwarfer, sturdier habit with leaves 12 to 1 in. long and shorter, broader flower panicles. It first appeared in the Fairfield nursery, near Dunedin, N.Z., and was described by Hooker, and figured, in Bot. Mag., t. 7323. Hooker suggested that it might be a hybrid between V. hulkeana and V. lavaudiana (q.v.).
