Prashant ji

You may be having two different species here

One (1312, 1315) with few spreading hairs on stem, longer corolla tube, lighter flower colour...........................Stachys sericea

One (1328, 1229) with densely woolly stems, broader corolla, darker flower colour and shorter corolla tube......S. floccosa

Watch my S. sericea from Manali and S. floccosa from Kadhmir, uploading soon.

Thanks for pointing out the differences.
