Veronica formosa is a common native shrub that
grows in damp woodlands and open forests through most of eastern
Tasmania. It has narrow, opposite and
decussate leaves that are entire, up to 2 cm long . The flowers are almost radially symmetrical, with the upper
petal slightly larger, white to blue-purple and in dense,
spike-like inflorescences scattered in the upper branches
Veronica continua is a
recently recognised species that is similar to V. formosa,
but is less branched, has bigger leaves and has blue flowers. |
