Nomenclatural note. Veronica decorosa is an accepted species, endemic to South Australia as discussed by Briggs & Ehrendorfer (1992). It is not clear due to sparse information on the labels whether the specimens are all from the same locality. They were therefore considered syntypes byBriggs & Ehrendorfer (1992). The specimens in P are for the same reasons considered syntypes.
