Can this be Lavandula Silver frost? In a separate thread I am posting Lavandula Silver frost plant without flower; but I doubt this is same or not(This was close to the labelled plant) This is Salvia. If in Botanical Garden it could be Himalayan Salvia moorcroftiana
Dachigam WLS is full of wild flowers. The photos were taken last week. Would much appreciate ID help. Good that you visited Dachhigam. I have already visited it twice this month. This is Salvia moorcroftiana, a common herb on dry slopes, roadsides and wastelands in Kashmir.
Salvia lanata from Kishtwar J&K: Kindly confirm ID Bot. name: Salvia lanata Family: Lamiaceae Location: Kishtwar J&K Altitude: 1600 m asl Date: 15th April 2012 It resembles closely to S.lanata. BUT please do not rely only on photo-identification, check with hard core taxonomic literature and specimen comparison (if you are a research worker in plant sciences). Looking at the relative size of basal leaves and inflorescence, I think it is Salvia moorcroftiana. Salvia lanata: leaves 5-10 cm long, mostly basal, less than 3 cm broad, inflorescence mostly unbranched, flowers violet to blue Salvia moorcroftiana: leaves 10-25 cm long, 4-15 cm broad, inflorescence branched, flowers lilac.
