Nomenclatural note. Veronica arvensis var. acinoides is an unbranched type of V. arvensis with elongated internodes. The specimen in P is labelled with the name and perfectly fits the description. The specimen in LW, labelled V. pseudo-acinos, later corrected to V. arvensis var. pseudo-acinos, has two plants on the sheet (LW00210289) that are basally branched. Therefore, the specimen in P is the better match for the name.
