Nomenclatural note. As mentioned elsewhere in this article, the group of V. anagallis-aquatica is polymorphic. So, it is not surprising that Schur (1866) added names to this group. The name V. anagallis-aquatica var. glandulosa is significant since it precedes V. anagallis-aquatica var. glandulosa Farw. and is considered distinct by Schur from V. anagalloides , which is usually distinguished from V. anagallis-aquatica by glandular indumentum used here to separate the var. glandulosa from the nomitate variety. According to Junge (1912) this plant of Schur indeed belongs to V. anagallis-aquatica , but it will require further inspection to confirm this. No original material was found in LW and the specimen in P are from another locality and date but direct reference to the publication. So, these plants may qualify as epitype material if no type material can be found.
