Comments
In the Watershed, Veronica anagallis-aquatica [catenata] is a lower-elevation speedwell, with most collections from the Basin or around its edges. It grows next to water and sometimes in it. This exotic has spread to nearly every state in the USA, and continues down the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico to the Mexico border.
