species
Veronica propinqua
The epithet propinqua means near or close to, probably referring to either relationship or similarity. Cheeseman (1906) did not specify which species he had in mind when applying the name, but he discussed how V. propinqua had been confused with V. salicornioides and V. cupressoides in the past, and added his view that its nearest affinity is with V. armstrongii.
