Re: Hoary mullein?

I think it is probably a Great Mullein which can be variable in its hairiness; I've certainly seen rosettes like this. I'm not aware of any records of this (unless as an isolated casual) from Ireland (assuming that's where you took photo?)

I usually see Hoary Mulein on roadsides near Norwich when I'm visiting various Broadland reserves- but is more distinctive when seeing flowering spikes. Certainly this area is the main place to see this species.
