Attached 2 pics from a plant photographed in July in the North of Afghanistan -
I would be glad if there will be some help in identification (I have no idea - even not for the family)

At first look something like Solanaceae. At least flowers like potato?

I see that lots of people are looking at th is page and yet no ideas being given..... I have to say that I have no idea at all. :-[
I got no further than agreeing with the resemblance to Solanum flowers :-\

Thank you, Maggi! I forgot to check the numbers of people which had a look at this plant - not bad.

I was thinking that the 'beak' reminded me of borage so I've just been flicking through Masha Bennett's Pulmonarias and the Borage Family and there is a photo of Trichodesma boissieri that certainly looks similar but I can't find a pic of the foliage to compare.

I think you may be on the right track, Gail. Trichodesma do have opposite leaves like the one shown.
As part of todays' "small world" comments: :
Did you know that Masha Bennett used to be a member of the Aberdeen SRGC Group ?

Thank you, Gail! It seems you gave the right hint - Trichodesma species
are growing in Afghanistan.
