Type: Type:[NW India, Saharanpur, Haridwar] Hurdwar, ann. 1825, Wallich (K).
Distribution: Distribution: Pakistan, Kashmir, NW India.
Comment/Acknowledgements: With the limited amount of available material (the description above is largely based on a few Indian specimens), this seems to merit specific distinction from Nepeta hindostana; mainly on the slender habit, lax inflorescence and, especially, the short areole on the more pronouncedly tuberculate nutlets. But undoubtedly they are very closely related and would repay further investigation.
