Nomenclatural note. Finally, Borissova (1955a) published V. sachalinensis, unaware of the slightly older name published by Yamazaki (1952). Whereas the taxonomic affinities of the name of Yamazaki (1952) are considered to be V. subgen. Pseudolysimachium, the name of Borissova (1955a) belongs to the genus Veronicastrum, either under the replacement name V. borissovae or as synonym of V. japonicum or V. sibiricum . The latter hypothesis is preferred here based on Ohashi (2015).
