Verbascum virgatum

V. thapsus
|
| Tasmania
has four introduced species of Verbascum (mullein).
All species are large and conspicuous weeds, especially in
flower (because of the long spike-like racemes of large,
bright yellow flowers). The leaves of V. thapsus
(great mullein) are densely covered in woolly hairs. V.
creticum (cretan mullein) is also hairy, but less so.
It has only four stamens. The other two species are almost
hairless. |
