Nomenclatural note. Veronica montioides is another morphotype of the V. anagallis-aquatica agg., collected in the vicinity of the locus classicus of V. oxycarpa . It is the typical small morphotype characteristic of ephemeral aquatic habitats. Similar to V. oxycarpa , there are two specimens in the herbarium G, and we chose the one from the general herbarium, rather than the one from the herbarium Moricand, as lectotype.
