Appearance and distribution of Great Mullein (Verbascum thapsus). (a) Verbascum thapsus (Great Mullein). Photograph by Zoë Devlin [4]. (b) For the purpose of botanical distribution records, the British Isles is divided into hectads (10 km2 areas). Each dot on the map indicates that mullein has been identified in that hectad. As botanical record-keeping is ongoing, hectad distribution maps change over time [5]. (c) Detailed photograph of dried Mullein leaf. The branched hairs which cover the leaves and help the plant to retain water can clearly be seen. Photograph by Dr. Jim O’Mahony.
