| Identification | This mullein has non-tomentose leaves and stems, but these are densely stipitate-glandular. The inflorescence is very long and slender, and can be branched. The large yellow flowers are scattered on the stem, not densely packed, and somewhat resemble those of Moth Mullein (V. blattaria), except that the flowers are always yellow in this species. | |
