Ehrenpreis Speedwell
Speedwell (Veronica) is a genus of plants that, according to molecular biological studies, belongs to the plantain family (Plantaginaceae). In older literature it is usually still listed under the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae) or as a separate family of the speedwell family (Veronicaceae). With up to 450 species, the genus Veronica is very species-rich. There are also numerous representatives in Central Europe. The German-language generic name Ehrenpreis comes from the appreciation of the Wald-Ehrenpreis (Veronica officinalis) in naturopathy: "To him be honor and prize as vera unica medicina, the only true remedy".
