Question
The only thing that looks right to me is Stachys hyssopifolia, but this was found in a scrub oak thicket that has been mowed and burned over the last few years, so the habitat seems off for the species. There were a handful of them in the area. Bourne, MA. Any idea? Thanks!
Answer
Dear massecology, from the images you provided, I don't know who else that plant could be other than Stachys hyssopifolia. If found in Bourne, it isn't a stretch given you are within the species core range in the state. Sometimes these species show up in odd locations when there are seed sources present in the area. Best wishes.
