Nomenclatural note. Veronica fargesii was described by Franchet (1900). Four collections of this species collected by Farges are in P. Of these, only one (P03529342; Fig. 7), bears a label with exact locality data matching the protologue and signed by Farges. It is, therefore, chosen as lectotype. The number 1169 also appears on another plate (P03529340), and one specimen (P03529339) bears the same label as P03529340 but not the number. One specimen (P03529341) belongs to the Bonati herbarium, has a newer label, and only has material in an envelope, possibly split by Bonati from the other specimens. Duplicates of the Bonati material are in GH, K, S, and US.
