La Véronique de Perse[1], ou Véronique commune (Veronica persica Poir.) est peut-être la plus répandue de toutes les véroniques (genre Veronica). C'est une plante annuelle adventice à petites fleurs bleues poussant abondamment dans les jardins. Elle porte également comme noms vernaculaires : boyau-de-chat, plante-à-thé[2], etc[3].

Certains ouvrages donnent Poiret comme nom vernaculaire synonyme à Véronique de Perse, ce qui peut être considéré comme erroné.
