Attachments(4) Please provide your inputs regarding id of this herb, from vof area.. efi page on Stachys melissifolia (syn: Stachys sericea Wall. ex Benth.

VOF Week 280812_DS_03: Lamium album Somehow overlooked Sir Ji… this is closer to Stachys sericea and is not Lamium album at all… I think this should be Stachys melissifolia Here is a picture from Flowers of the Himalaya: A Supplement Yes not Lamium, perhaps the result of pressure of seeing so many photographs quickly. Luckily we have people like … and you to not let the wrong ID go.
VoF Week :: DV :: 01 AUG 12 – 1221 :: Nepeta ¿ erecta ? along Govind Ghat – Ghangaria trail: To me flower colour looks different, flowers smaller (could you tell the flower length?), and leaves more sessile than Nepeta erecta. Some more views of leaf attachment of lower and upper leaves please??. Looks like some Stachys Sp. I cannot recollect strongly, … the flower could be about 10 mm across, about 20 mm long. Stachys sericea I guess Agree with Stachys sericea To me it does not look like Stachys sericea. Would be happy to consider it similar to plant uploaded by … and identified as Stachys melissifolia. To me this also looks like Stachys melissifolia. PS: This plant is wrongly labelled as Nepeta erecta in K.R. Keshava Murthy’s book, probably the source of … preliminary thinking. Yes … Nomenclature of this genus seems to be confusing. Let us see if we have some clear view in future.

Lamiaceae (Incl. Verbenaceae) Fortnight: Stachys for specification from VOF-NS May 136/136
Lamiaceae (Incl. Verbenaceae) Fortnight: Stachys sp. from Chakrata- NS May 30/30 Annotated checklist of flowering plants of Nepal and Books of Nepal listed as Stachys melissaefolia Benth. whereas google and other websites showing Stachys melissifolia Benth. Why is such difference ? …, I think names containing double / triple vowels are revised to have single vowel. Let us wait for better / correct understanding. I think there are mistakes in spelling sometimes in publications. But I think we have to follow what ever is published initially. I do not know if I am correct. For the correct spelling you may use WWW.IPNI.ORG which lists this name as Stachys melissifolia although in original description it is labelled as Stachys melissaefolia. Thanks, … That means I was wrong. As per Code ‘mellisaefolia’ is correctable to ‘mellisifolia’ Thank you all for clarifying the complications of ID !
