Nomenclatural note. As described by Hosseinnejad Azad et al. (2021), V. oxycarpa is likely just an ecotype of V. anagallis-aquatica but it is possible that V. anagallis-aquatica includes several taxa, of which one may include the type of V. oxycarpa . Therefore, the type of V. oxycarpa will likely have importance in the future. Elenevsky (1978) lectotypified the name with a specimen from G but did not mention that there are two specimens in that herbarium. Therefore, a second-step lectotypification is necessary. Since the specimen G00343599 belongs to the herbarium Moricand, I chose the specimen from the general herbarium as lectotype.
