This is not *E,strobilifera*. In this species the spike is one-sided with prominent bracts. It is not E.pilosa either. That species is "pilose" as the name suggests is covered with long soft hairs. It is only known from Kumaon to Bhutan (and on to China). This is not an easy genus with a fair amount of confusion. Appears to be Elsholtzia densa to me; the flower spikes are dense +/- even. Interestingly, this species is not in 'Flora Simlensis'. Stewart found it to be common in fields and hedgerows @ 2400-4200m in Kashmir. It is found in Ladakh. I recently named an image of this species posted from Ladakh and ones sent to me from Gansu in China (where it is utilised medicinally). It is also found in Lahoul. I am not convinced about the information and records for this genus in 'Flora of Lahaul-Spiti'.
