no doubt that it is Veronica (Scrophulariaceae)- there are many similar species, I would suppose V. polita, Edwin?

I was very susprised that it was of the SnapDragon family! Yes nice one but do not know from where I have taken the photo. Maybe i can make some detective work and trace the photo set from the image number.

Back from the ashes.... Are you sure about V. polita? I am preparing a short profile. I am XXX busy for ID so maybe my assistant il-Pine can give a shot.
