Veronica incana, the silver speedwell, is a species of flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae.[2] It is native to parts of Eastern Europe and Russia, all of Siberia, Mongolia, and northern China, and has been introduced to Czechoslovakia.[1] A number of authorities consider it to be a subspecies of the spiked speedwell Veronica spicata; Veronica spicata subsp. incana.[3] It is a parent of the hybrids Veronica × czemalensis (with V. porphyriana) and Veronica × grisea (with V. longifolia).[4]
