Continuing the subject of Mulleins from the last entry. This is Dark Mullein (Verbascum nigrum). I saw quite a few of these on Saturday following a track to the top of Box Hill in Surrey. They were flourishing in the scrubby margins between the track and the woods that cover the hill.
 They look distinctively different to V. thapsus which are often called the Common or Great Mullein. Verbascums are plants of the Scrophulariacae family which also includes the various species of Digitalis. The Dark Mullein in particular has something of the Foxglove about it.
