Veronique (plant)
See also: Veronique
The speedwells (kind Veronica ) are a kind of herbaceous plants annual or perennial classified traditionally in the family of the Scrophulariacée S. One counts some more than 200 species throughout the world.
The plant owes its name in holy Veronique, who would have collected a linen carrying the features of Christ and would have, thanks to this linen, cured the Tibère emperor of leprosy. However the officinal speedwell ( Veronica officinalis ) was used formerly in application on the wounds of leprous (from where its familiar name grass-with-misers).
Classification APG II (2003) locates the speedwells in the order of the Lamiales and in the family of the Plantaginacée S.
Characteristics of the kind
Plants generally of small size, often crawling, with Sheet S opposite or verticillate (in some species the higher sheets are alternate, for example Veronica persica ). The Fleur S, also small, can form racèmes, more rarely of the ear S, or be solitary with the armpit of the sheets. Chalice with four sepals generally, sometimes to five. Corolla with four petals, the dominant color being blue. In much of species, one of the petals is smaller and more clearly than the three others. Two cheesecloth S, a style, ovary supère. The Fruit is a flattened or globulous capsule, often in the shape of heart.
