What is the origin of the name Veronica Arabia?

The flower language of Arab Veronica is health, and its flowers are generally small. There is a beautiful legend about Veronica Arabia. It is said that there is an uncle named "Allah". After his wife lost, he often missed his wife "mother-in-law". One day, a purple flower grew on the grass where he was lying, so people called it Arabic Veronica.

There are thin stripes on the petals of Veronica Arabia, just like the long eyelashes on the eyes of Allah's wife. The stamens of Veronica Arabia are like a pair of happy old people sitting in each other's arms and never leaving.
