|discussion=<p><i>Veronica argute-serrata</i> has been recorded mostly under the name <i>V. biloba</i> and occasionally under V. campylopoda Boissier. Most of the records for <i>V. biloba</i> likely belong under this name. <i>Veronica biloba</i> is also found in the flora area, sometimes mixed with <i>V. argute-serrata</i>; V. campylopoda has not been recorded from the flora area. A chromosome count of 2n = 18 (C. R. Bell 1965) for American material is suspicious because 2n = 42 has been reported multiple times in Turkish plants, and a base chromosome number of × = 9 is not known in related species.</p>
