Nomenclatural note. Veronica polita var. dentata was described by Sennen and Pau ( Pau 1907) based on plants collected by Pau and frere Elias in Castille. It was suggested to differ from V. polita by the ovate, obtuse calyx lobes with toothed margin. The original specimens clearly belong to V. agrestis , which is also widespread in Spain but typically less common. So, Sennen and Pau may not have been as familiar with this species. The obtuse calyx lobes are typical for V. agrestis , whereas the toothed sepal is very rare for it and all related species. It can be clearly seen on the lectotype in BC but not the other specimens. The specimens in P come from the herbarium of the university in Caen and the herbarium of abbé Toussaint, suggesting a link among botanically interested priests.
