This is quite similar to V. triphyllos (Fingered Speedwell) except that the leaves are serrate and not deeply lobed into "fingers". The flower is of a similar size and colour of blue. This is a possible native and Stace thinks it is decreasing. He is out of date here - V. praecox is probably increasing faster than any other of the rare Breckland Speedwells in certain set-aside fields but like all the Breckland Speedwells it is small and you can easily miss it.
