Nomenclatural note. Veronica maresii was described by Sennen (1930) from the Baleares and is usually considered a synonym of V. beccabunga (de Bolòs & Vigo 1983) . However, the description with upper stem leaves sessile and lower ones petiolate is characteristic for V. anagallis-aquatica . Also, pedicels longer than bracts and sepals longer than capsule are atypical for V. beccabunga and suggest that it is a strongly branched, ascending form of V. anagallis-aquatica . This is confirmed by the type specimens.
