Nomenclatural note. Veronica limosa is a synonym of V. beccabunga but is said to differ from it by its reddish flower and longer bracts ( Lejeune 1824). Dumortier (1827) later changed the rank to that of a variety. Similar to the case of the other species of Lejeune, the specimens are not dated and don’t have exact localities. However, the specimen in P is from the herbarium of Lejeune directly and not from the Reichenbach exsiccata as in the previous cases. Only one other specimen has been found but the herbarium in BR has not been checked thoroughly, yet, which prevents me from typifying the name at this moment.
