Can it be Esholtzia eriostachya as per details in Concise Flowers of Himalayas by Oleg Polunin & Adam Stainton ?

Flowers are yellow as per the book.

[Gurcharan Singh]

racts are not very clear in your photographs but perhaps E. eriostachya is a better choice, especially the flower colour as per eFlora of Pakistan

By the way there is 'l' between 'E' and 's'

Garg ji I think your pictures match more  with Elsholtzia fruticosa. Please check pg 100 of Polunin & Stainton.  The leaves pictures in the second link provided by you below with Lamiaceae as the heading are more lanceolate and helps in establishing the difference betwen the two species E. fruticosa and E. eriostachya.

regards,

Rashida.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Agreed Rashida ji

It is in fact E. fruticosa.

A reply from another thread:

"I think it is E. densa. But both the species are difficult to distinguish. As it is from Uttarakhand better to treat as E. densa,

Reply from another thread:

"Both Flora of China and Flora of Pakistan separate two species on the basis of corolla colour (yellow in E. eriostachya, purple in E. densa). On that count it looks like e. eriostachya only.
