Veronica anagallis-aquatica is a biennial,
non-indigenous species that has spread throughout the country and
inhabits wet environments, such as streambanks and ponds. The stem
is erected approximately 1m from the rhizome, with opposite oval or
lanceolate leaves with minimal saw teeth. The serration is so
minimal that the plate looks like an entire. The raceme of many
flowers arises from the axil. The flower corolla has four lobes,
measuring up to 1 cm wide, and is a vivid bluish-purple color. Bloom
time: April-September. |
