Wild collected by the late Michael Wickenden as a Nepeta species but we suspect something else. Tall, branched spires of tiny bright blue flowers, 1.4m.

Originally offered as Lamiaceae sp MCW58, now identified for us by Lisa Wesley.

Collection site wasn't recorded but likely to be Yunnan, China/Myanmar border area.
