Veronica chamaedrys
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 13. 1753
.
"Habitat in Europae pratis." RCN: 89.
Lectotype
(Fischer in
Feddes Repert.
108: 116. 1997): Herb. Clifford: 8,
Veronica
7 (BM-000557541)
.
Current name:
Veronica chamaedrys
L.
(
Scrophulariaceae
).
Note:
Although Pennell (in
Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia Monogr.
1: 352. 1935) stated that the type was in LINN, he did not distinguish between sheets 26.43 and 26.44 (which are not part of a single gathering so Art. 9.15 does not apply). Fischer (in
Oesterr
. Bot. Zeitschr.
121: 75. 1973) regarded both sheets as comprising the type so this statement, too, does not result in a formal choice of type.
