Robert Brown described the trailing speedwell in 1810 in his work Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.
[3] Veronica plebeia grows as a perennial herb, with stolons reaching 1 m (3 ft) in length.
[4] The lilac to pale blue flowers appear from September to June, with peak times between October and January, as well as April.
[7] It is rare in Tasmania, restricted to the Tamar Valley and scattered locations on the east coast.
