Sinha ji There are no images of V. persica and V. arvensis in your mail, perhaps you missed uploading them.
V. persica, though closer to P. didyma is much different in leaf shape and size, length of pedicel and fruit, which has a widely diverging sinus (obtuse angle) and keeled lobes in fruit. Flower is also larger. I had uploaded V. persica separately. V. arvensis, though having similar leaves is much different with subtending bracts much smaller than foliage leaves and aggregated in terminal inflorescence. also the pedicels are much smaller. As for my V. didyma, there is no question of 4 bracts, as subtending leaves are unmodified. By any chance, did you mean calyx lobes?. Also one flower will produce only one fruit in Veronica.
