Nomenclatural note. Nakai (1915) described three species of V. subgen. Pseudolysimachium from the island Quelpart (= Jeju), V. ovata Nakai , V. rotunda , and V. villosula Nakai , the first based on a collection by Taquet from 1912, the second based on a collection by Faurie (no. 786, Oct. 1906), the last one based on other collections by Faurie (no. 928, based on Nakai (1943) from Oct. 1906), by T. Mori (no. 123) and T. Ishidoya (no. 36, 14. Aug. 1912). Nakai (1943) later stated that the Faurie collection of V. villosula is the type and stated that the types of all three are found in TI, which is considered to be an effective lectotypification. No further specimens of the type collections are mentioned.
