This looks more robust and darker than what I expect of Veronica persica so it could be the native and not the weed.

Hi Mike.
I meant to add another comment to your previous Veronica sighting, saying that my guess was based partly on the location. Veronica persica is more likely in disturbed areas such as here. Veronica calycina prefers undisturbed native areas.

I was going on photos in APII and what is growing in my garden - which is likely to be the weed one. The ones in the pines are growing with a range of natives and weeds. I was hoping to produce some good news.
