Unknown Lamiaceae (edit: plantaginaceae?) cutting

I visited a friend at a private garden he was working in as a gardener and he gave me this cutting from a shrub I commented on. He didn't tell me what it was called and I've neglected it and haven't thought much about it until now. Does anyone recognise it?

It seems like an Elsholtzia...

It is possible; if the foliage is aromatic then would be worth looking after an Elsholtzia species. I am only familiar with E. stauntonii (which is different) but there are many others.

One of the first things I did was crush a leave and sniff.. no essential oil. Just a planty green smell. I doubt it's Lamiaceae. The flower is more like Veronica, without labiatae 'lips'.

You're right Jamus, i zoomed in as much as possible, not a Lamiaceae.
Very unfamiliar, may be something native there. Please post when you find the name.

Could it be a kind of Clethra?

Over on facebook David Kennedy identified this for me as Leucosceptrum stellipilum (Lamiaceae). A woodlander from Japan which is barely hardy (heat hardy) enough for my garden.
Here is a better photo showing the inflorescence.

Thanks for the update - not a plant I've heard of before. Is the flower scented?
