Nomenclatural note. Veronica bachofenii is a species endemic to Transylvania. So, Schur must have encountered it more than most other botanists. His V. bachofenii var. angustifolia differs by having leaves about 8 cm long and 2, 5 cm wide with attenuate to subcordate base and had been found in “Arpasthale” in 1846. No specimen in LW assignable to that taxon was found. The specimen in P has the wrong year and no exact locality. So, it is a potential epitype.
