Growing in waste ground NW Ireland. I thought it was Lamium album but can't find an example in my books with the coloured patches on the lower lobe. Square stem; hairy; occasional leaves were asymmetric at base; stigma forked at tip. Two iffy photos to help you.

I've been casting about and I think it's probably Galeopsis tetrahit.
Anyone want to confirm?

Anyone want to confirm? | I think it is as well, it would be useful to see the lower lip, but I've never seen G. bifida this colour before
cheers

Well I've just worked backwards through Francis Rose's key and I reckon it's good for G. tetrahit but I'm not filled with confidence about my abilities to deal with lobes and lips and labia and lamiaceae!

PS Thanks Chris. Forgot to say that.
This plant had little purple glands on the hairs - is that characteristic?

Common Hemp-nettle.
