Scrophularia himalayensis<\/i>\u00a0Royle ex Benth. Scroph. Indicae 18, 1835<\/p>\n
Obtusely angled robust herb with ovate-lanceolate to ovate-cordate leaves without appendages on petiole; flowers in few flowered cymes forming a loose panicle about 10 cm broad; sepals obtuse-rounded, scarious-margined, shorter than capsule; corolla green, 4-5 mm long, upper lobes longer than others; fetile stamens much protruded from corolla; capsule globose, style 6-9 mm long.<\/span><\/div>\n
Common in Kashmir usually at lower altitudes<\/span>.

I find these images to be somewhat different from others at\u00a0Scrophularia<\/em>\u00a0himalensis<\/i>\u00a0Royle ex Benth.<\/span><\/a>, with respect to the stem, inflorescence, colour and shape of the flowers\/ corolla, shape of the sepals etc.
\n<\/span>May I request you to pl. have a relook.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Strongly protruding stamens seen in third image point to that only. However, I have asked Dr. Anzar Khuroo to recheck it, as plant was grown in an experimental bed for research purposes.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Here are some pics taken today.
\n4 images- 1 to\u00a03 mb each.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks, … Question is that these look different from other images\u00a0at\u00a0Scrophularia<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/span>himalensis<\/span><\/i>\u00a0Royle ex Benth.<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span>It may be some other species.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Yes, they may be.
\nI just shared the pics of the plant that grows in the Kashmir University Botanical Garden at this time of the year..<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Taking it as\u00a0Scrophularia polyantha<\/em>\u00a0till another alternative is found, as\u00a0S. himalensis<\/em>\u00a0is not reported from Kashmir valley<\/p>\n

To me also appears close to\u00a0Scrophularia polyantha<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

I think you missed this post<\/div>\n

\nI had already conceded\u00a0<\/span>S. polyantha<\/em><\/div>\n

That is why I said also.<\/p>\n

Looks like lamiaceae.<\/em><\/p>\n

Please check\u00a0Verbascum chinense<\/em> (Linnaeus) Santapau!

I think it is Scrophularia.<\/em>
