Phlomis anisodonta

Phlomis anisodonta Boissier
Diagn. Pl. Or. Ser 1(5):37 (1844)
Distribution in the wild: Endemic to Iraq & Iran

anisodonta means unevenly toothed.

An attractive low growing perennial which gradually spreads. Pink and white forms are in cultivation. Because of the white form’s colour, I think some growers of one batch of seed from Iran have called this plant P. cancellata, but the plant in cultivation has much longer leaf petioles than P. cancellata and much shorter calyx teeth (see P. cancellata)

Herbaceous perennial 3040 cm. Basal leaves green above, canescent beneath, ovate to oblong-lanceolate with cuneate to truncate base, lightly crenate at margin, 6-12 × 2-3 cm; petiole 1-2 cm. Three to four distant whorls per flower stem, many flowered. Bracteoles subulate, hispid, ciliate. Calyx 12-14 mm, teeth unequal, short, ovate-triangular 2-3 mm, hispid ciliate. Corolla rose-coloured.
