Common Mullein
Verbascum thapsus
43.5904, -118.722
Field Notes
Description:
A tall plant, 5' or more, with densely woolly leaves and a spire of yellow flowers, opening a few at a time..The woolly leaves may be nearly an eigth of an inch thick.
Habitat:
High desert country along the road and dry creek beds. They like lots of space and light.
Notes:
This is great camping toilet paper, as it is soft and shouldn't give you any "skin problems".. I was amazed to discover mullein is a introduced species from Europe, probably arriving in the West with our pioneering ancestors since it has quite a few medicinal uses.
