Nomenclatural note. A third species published by Meyer has a more complicated taxonomic history. Veronica tubiflora was published by Friedrich Ernst Ludwig Fischer & Meyer (1835) in the seed catalogue of the botanical garden St. Petersburg in 1835 based on plants from “pratis humidis Dahuriae”, however, without collector. None of the authors collected in that area. Turczaninow later ( Turczaninow 1851) published the name based on his collections in Dahuria. The inspection of specimens of Fischer in the herbarium Cosson (P03520522), in which Fischer labelled the specimen with “ Veronica tubiflora Turcz. ” demonstrates that the original material came indeed from Turczaninow. As in previous names lectotypification requires extensive checking of the herbarium LE but specimens in P and other herbaria from Fischer collected by Turczaninow in Dahuria are certainly type material.
