Nomenclatural note. Veronica notabilis is another accepted species, endemic to southeastern Australia, described by von Mueller as discussed by Briggs & Ehrendorfer (2006). Several specimens were similarly to V. decorosa not considered lectotypes but only probable lectotypes, which are effectively syntypes. The specimen in P (P04079566) is from the general herbarium and received only in 1885 with a label certainly dating after 1867, casting doubt on its type status.
