Nomenclatural note. Veronica gentianoides is another highly variable species. Freyn (1896) published the name V. sumilensis and differentiated it from V. gentianoides based on erect habit, smaller growth, smaller seeds, and some other characteristics. Fischer & Öztürk (1989) described the variability of the V. gentianoides in Turkey and V. sumilensis corresponds to their V. gentianoides var. alpina .
