Veronica repens in Corsica is shown to be a subspecies within V. serpyllifolia and is endemic there. A detailed study of the indumentum, together with considerations on palynology, seed morphology, karyology and phytogeography, has shown that the Spanish populations usually assigned to <> are different from that subsp. repens at species level and belong to <>. This species, endemic to Spain, consist of two varieties V. langei var. langei and V. langei var. nevadensis. <> (=V. tenella=V. balcanica=V. apennina) is a high mountain ecotype of V. serpyllifolia meriting only varietal rank V. serpyllifolia subsp. serpyllifolia var. humifusa. A taxonomic key to all taxa is supplied, as well as nomenclatural considerations, typification of several names, descriptions, drawings and distribution maps. A new subsection in Veronica sect. Veronicastrum is proposed.
