Abstract

Veronica peregrina Linnaeus (1753: 14) was described in the protologue as “Veronica floribus solitariis sessilibus, foliis lanceolato-linearibus glabris obtusis integerrimis, caule erecto”, a phrase-name that was quoted directly from his previous treatment in Flora suecica (Linnaeus 1745: 6). Linnaeus (1753) stated about the origin of the plant: “Habitat in Europae hortis, arvisque” and also cited one synonym: “Veronica terrestris annua, folio polygoni, flore albo. Moris. Hist. 2. p. 322, sect. 3. t. 24. f. 19” (Morison 1680), based on material from England.
