Common Speedwell (Common Gypsyweed) (Veronica officinalis): Images

Date Location Notes Images
May 27, 2012 Southeastern, New Hampshire Barely touching this plant will make the flowers fall off, just like Common Speedwell and Thyme-Leaved Speedwell. It was dusk and the mosquitoes were swarming and I was lying in the tick-infested grass and being as still as humanly possible to try and take pictures without all of the flowers falling off.

Key:
  • Racemes borne in the leaf axils.
  • Stems and leaf blades conspicuously pubescent.
  • Corolla 4-8 mm wide. Flowering stems creeping near base with tip ascending.
