The French botanist Dominique Villars described Veronica allionii in 1779 (l.c.) citing only a synonym from Tournefort (in Hermann, Schola Bot.: 46. 1689) and a polynomial synonym by himself. Both polynomials included a brief description of the leaves, i.e., “foliis hirsutis” and “folio rotundo, hirsuto”, respectively. A few years later, the same author (Hist. Pl. Dauphiné 2: 8–9. 1787) changed the application of this name by an alteration of the diagnostic characters (i.e., “foliis glabris”). In this work three new synonyms were cited for V. allionii: a polynomial from Gérard, Fl. Gallo-Prov.: 322. 1761 (1726) Proposal to conserve the name Veronica allionii (Scrophulariaceae) with a conserved type
