Nomenclatural note. Wiesbaur (1887) mentions previous references for V. agrestis var. glabrescens (“Société helvétique 1885 und Gen. Dubl. Verz. des schles. bot. Tauschvereins 1885/86”) but the name was not found in any publication of the Société Helvétique des Sciences Naturelles, and the other reference is just a list of names. However, the diagnosis in Wiesbaur (1887) validates the names. Six specimens collected on five dates have been found for V. agrestis var. glabrescens . The specimen in P is especially well preserved, has a duplicate in GOET and is collected on the same day as the original material of V. agrestis var. albida , making it more likely that these were really considered distinct types by Wiesbaur.
