Variety in Veronica species

2 flowering plants of Veronica genus: Koromiko & Bentham’s hebe

The Veronica genus (formerly known as Hebe) is a large group of New Zealand plants demonstrating wide variation. They hybridise (cross-pollinate) very easily and are adapted to very different environments. Two very different varieties are shown in this image – koromiko (Veronica salicifolia) on the left and Bentham’s hebe (Veronica benthamii) on the right.
