looks like Dracocephalum sp.


I tried matching all the species found in India at Dracocephalum, but could not succeed.
Can it be from some other genus ?

VOF Week: Lamiaceae sp. for ID from Vasundhara Falls:
Seen this Lamiaceae sp. enroute Vasundhara Falls. Could this be some Nepeta sp.??


may be Nepeta discolor??


Thanks … for suggesting the ID. It does tallies with Nepeta discolor.


I thought N. discolor has grey to white tomentose undersurface of leaves. I see no such tinge even in slightly upturned leaves.

Looks matching!

EFlora of Pakistan
” Leaves thickish textured, 7-20 x 7-12 mm, greenish above, villous or densely white tomentose below with sessile oil globules”
FBI “Leaves often white with appressed tomentum beneath”


I think this may be Nepeta lamiopsis as per references herein.

Yes, some possibility.

You seem to be right … !
