Veronica persica Poir. Dict. Encycl. Meth. Bot. 8: 542, 1808;江苏南部种子植物手册, 686. 1959.——V. tournefortii C. C. Gmel. Fl. Bad. 1: 39, 1805, non Villars. 1779 et 1786, nec. F. W. Schmidt, 1793.
铺散多分枝草本，高10-50厘米。茎密生两列多细胞柔毛。叶2-4对（腋内生花的称苞片，见下面），具短柄，卵形或圆形，长6-20毫米，宽5-18毫米，基部浅心形，平截或浑圆，边缘具钝齿，两面疏生柔毛。总状花序很长；苞片互生，与叶同形且几乎等大；花梗比苞片长，有的超过1倍；花萼花期长仅3-5毫米，果期增大达8毫米，裂片卵状披针形，有睫毛，三出脉；花冠蓝色、紫色或蓝紫色，长4-6毫米，裂片卵形至圆形，喉部疏被毛；雄蕊短于花冠。蒴果肾形，长约5-毫米，宽约7毫米，被腺毛，成熟后几乎无毛，网脉明显，凹口角度超过90度，裂片钝，宿存的花柱长约2.5毫米，超出凹口。种子背面具深的横纹，长约1.6毫米。花期3-5月。2n=28
分布于华东、华中及贵州、云南、西藏东部及新疆（伊宁），为归化的路边及荒野杂草，原产于亚洲西部及欧洲。
和婆婆纳V. didyma Tenore体态很象，区别在于本种花梗明显长于苞片（或称苞叶）；蒴果表面明显具网脉，凹口大于90度角，裂片顶端钝而不浑圆，染色体倍数也不同。

Annuals, sometimes biennials. Stems diffuse, ca. 10-20 cm tall, 20-50 cm, densely pubescent with multicellular hairs often more densely so along 2 lines. Opposite leaves in (2 or)3 or 4(or 5) pairs; petiole 1-8 mm; leaf blade ovate-lanceolate to suborbicular, (6-)10-20(-25) X (5-)8-15(-20) mm, evenly sparsely pubescent on both surfaces, margin flat, obtusely crenate-serrate, 3-6(-10)-toothed per side. Racemes terminal, lax, very long; bracts alternate, leaflike, petiolate, uppermost ones smaller than others. Fruiting pedicel (1.2-)1.5-3(-4) cm, usually longer than bract. Calyx 4-lobed; lobes ovate-lanceolate, 5-8(-10) X 2.5-3.5(-4) mm in fruit, sparsely pubescent, veins 3. Corolla usually blue, rotate, 0.8-1.4 cm in diam., throat sparsely hairy; lobes ovate to orbicular. Stamens slightly shorter than corolla. Capsule obcordate, strongly compressed, 4-6 X 6-9 mm, apically notched at right to obtuse angle; lobes obtuse, glandular hairy, venation conspicuously reticulate. Style 2-3 mm, exserted. Seeds slightly navicular, usually 1.4-2.3 X 0.9-1.6 mm; seed coat deeply rugose dorsally. Fl. Mar-May. 2n = 28.
Naturalized in waste fields and roadsides; below 1700 m. Anhui, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Taiwan, W Xinjiang (Yining Xian), E Xizang, Yunnan, Zhejiang [native to SW Asia and since the 19th century spread over most of the world].
