Verbascum pulverulentum explained

Verbascum pulverulentum, the hoary mullein or broad-leaf mullein, is a species of flowering plant in the family Scrophulariaceae.[1] It is native to central and southern Europe, and has been introduced to Austria, Madeira, and Washington state in the US.[2] [3] It is a specialist on coastal shingle, and so is preadapted to human-influenced habitats such as old quarries and gravel pits, road verges, railway embankments, and similar disturbed stony ground.[4]
