Spanish alpine

[Lawrence]

Just come back from a short break near Alicante, Spain and photographed this little beauty, any ideas please, maybe some kind of Teucrium perhaps ??

[Matt T]

It looks similar to Teucrium chamaedrys, which I found with a very few flowers late in the season (02 Nov) in the Peloponnese. Could it be that?

EDIT: pic uploaded is of a Lamium by mistake, not T.chamaedrys. Sorry for confusion.

[Matt T]

Or Teucrium marum might be more likely in that location?

Hi Matt,
Your picture is not Teucrium chamaedrys and even not a Teucrium which looks like having to superior lip. Nevertheless, Lawrence's picture looks really like a Teucrium, maybe Teucrium buxifolium (or one of these very close species hifacense or rivasii ?)

Sorry Yvain, in my haste I exported a Lamium pic instead! Folly of not checking before clicking.
You suggestions look to be a closer match with the more glaucous leaves.
