A large, lush and vital specimen of Teucrium socotranum as it is growing out of reach for the goats. I’ve encountered it in rocky slopes where they are browsed by the goats, and never seen a specimen this large and vital. The vertical cliffs of Socotra are a safe heaven for many plant species that are able to grow there.
Unfortunately this one was without any of its white flowers.
Teucrium socotranum is endemic to Socotra.
