Nomenclatural note. Veronica armena is characterized by highly pinnatisect leaves but differs from V. multifida with similar leaves by the long, patent flower stalks and usually more branched habit. There is only one specimen in G, which is chosen as lectotype. However, 14 other specimens from the collection can be found across ten herbaria, including four from P.
