Lamiaceae & Verbenaceae Week: Lamiaceae, Phlomis bracteosa (needs confirmation) from Kashmir

[Gurcharan Singh]

Phlomis bracteosa, could well be P. spectabilis, both species have broad ovate-codate leaves and almost rounded at tip, former with leaves usually smaller not exceeding 12 cm whereas latter has often as large as 30 cm long leaves. Will confirm in my next visit in a week or so. Photographed from Khillenmarg, Kashmir
