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 Österr . 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.
