Veronica (Hebe) venustula is endemic, and is found in the North Island in mountain regions including the Ruakumara Range, volcanoes in the central North Island, Mt Taranaki, and the Pouakai, Kaimanawa, Kaweka, Ruahine and Aorangi ranges. It is found in subalpine shrubland, and penalpine grassland, and apparently at lower altitudes in the eastern Waiarapa. It is a bushy shrub up to 1.4-1.8m high with white flowers (Dec) Jan-Feb (Mar). It is very hardy, can be pruned after flowering. Sometimes misidentified as Hebe odora, it is more closely related to Hebe brachysiphon.
