Lamium orvala

Lamium orvala L. (SC Eur.) – An exceptional and probably ephemeral escape from cultivation. About ten plants were found growing on rough ground in Genk in 2011.

This species is only rarely recorded as an escape, for instance in the British Isles (Clement & Foster 1994) or in Germany (Klotz 2013).
