Taxonomic Comments
Kartesz 1999 pulls out material formerly treated as Veronica stelleri (and synonymized with V. wormskjoldii), into the variety V. wormskjoldii var. stelleri. The material remaining in V. wormskjoldii is used to make up the typical variety. FNA (vol. 17, 2019) narrows the concept of V. wormskjoldii by treating V. nutans (= V. wormskjoldii var. nutans) as distinct.
