Summary Veronica peduncularis M. Bieb. (Plantaginaceae: Veroniceae) is illustrated and described. A short discussion is provided as to the family affiliations of Veronica , with the proposal that, at least in this article, it is considered to belong to the Plantaginaceae. The infrageneric placement of this taxon is also discussed, but with a commentary suggesting dubious results in an earlier molecular study; its placement in Veronica L. subgenus Pentasepalae (Benth.) M.M.Mart. Ort. & Albach & M.A. Fisch. is commented upon. The species belongs in Veronica subsection Petraea Benth. A full synonymy is provided, together with citation of types, and relevant discussion and notes cover the issues with naming this plant and location of type material. Cultivation and propagation guidelines for the species are provided and current availability of cultivars is outlined.
