With more than 6500 species of native seed plants on the Balkans and almost a third of them endemic, the Balkan Peninsula is known to be a place for diversification and formation of new species and an important refugium during the Ice Ages. One plant group, which exemplifies this well, is the genus Veronica (Plantaginaceae, formerly Scrophulariaceae). Four groups from this genus (V. subg. Stenocarpon; V. subg. Chamaedrys; V. subg. Pseudolysimachium, V. alpina-complex) display putative tertiary…

Phylogenetic analysis and differentiation of Veronica subgenus Stenocarpon in the Balkan Peninsula
TLDR
Nuclear chalcone synthase intron data and AFLP fingerprints and leaf morphological characters used to distinguish the three subspecies of V. saturejoides indicate that the southern taxa are genetically much more diverse than the more northern V. thessalica.

Evolution of veroniceae: A phylogenetic perspective
TLDR
Based on comparison with results from the molecular analyses, the rosette habit is inferred to be ancestral in the tribe Veroniceae with two losses and at least two regains and chromosome number was likely to be x = 9 in the ancestor of VeronICEae with other base numbers evolving several times in parallel.
Piecing together the "new" Plantaginaceae.
TLDR
In a phylogenetic study of 47 members of Plantaginaceae and seven outgroups based on 3561 aligned characters from four DNA regions, the relationships within this clade were analyzed and the results from parsimony and Bayesian analyses support the removal of the Lindernieae from Gratioleae to a position outsideplantaginaceae.
Veronica: Parallel morphological evolution and phylogeography in the Mediterranean
TLDR
Cases of parallel evolution have been found in biogeographical patterns among the alpine species of Veroniceae, in which species from European mountains have affinities to those in the Central Asian/Himalayan region whereas al Alpine species from Turkey are probably more recently derived from lowland southwestern Asian taxa.

Comparative phylogeography of the Veronica alpina complex in Europe and North America
TLDR
Plastid DNA trnL‐F sequences and AFLP fingerprints were used to infer the phylogenetic history of the group and phylogeographical patterns within species, finding that V. cusickii is much more genetically diverse than its sympatric relative, V. nutans, an effect that is likely due to differences in the breeding system.
Taxonomy of Veronica subsect. Serpyllifoliae (Scrophulariaceae)
TLDR
Veronica repens in Corsica is shown to be a subspecies within V. serpyllifolia and is endemic there and a new subsection in Veronica sect.
Phylogeny and quaternary history of the European montane/alpine endemic Soldanella (Primulaceae) based on ITS and AFLP variation.
TLDR
Estimates of divergence times suggest a late Quaternary origin of the genus Soldanella, and it is hypothesized that the latter differentiated in allopatric regions of expansion during glacials, while the former experienced secondary contact at lower elevations in more southern refugia.
Comparative phylogeography and postglacial colonization routes in Europe
TLDR
A Brooks parsimony analysis produced an unrooted area phylogram, showing that: (i) the northern regions were colonized generally from the Iberic and Balkanic refugia; and (ii) the Italian lineages were often isolated due to the presence of the Alpine barrier.
Evolution and biogeography of the Hebe complex (Scrophulariaceae) inferred from ITS sequences
TLDR
Analysis of ITS sequences suggests that the progenitor of the Hebe complex originated in Australia, and the newly described genus Leonohebe Heads is considered polyphyletic.
A new classification of the tribe Veroniceae-problems and a possible solution
TLDR
A new infratribal and infrageneric rearrangement for Veroniceae and Veronica is proposed and it is concluded that it is best to recognize a large genus Veronica with 13 subgenera, along with 8 other genera, including Scrofella, Veronicastrum and Paederota, in Veronicesae.
