A couple of years ago I bought a plant of Salvia nana. It disappeared below ground when the winter came but never came back up. Then I noticed some buds poking through the soil in a pot I had forgotten about. Was it to be the long-lost salvia? At first I was hopeful but as the plant developed I was less so, I imagine now that it is in flower that it is Scrophularia nodosa?
I did a search on the forum and, surprise, the name does crop up - as a suggestion for "What is this No 42". But that thread ends in mid-air, with no solution (or so it seems). Does anybody recognise this plant?

The plant is now in its 3rd summer after having been sown. It has a basal rosette of leaves in winter, thick woody roots and has added one rosette for each year. Rosettes have now disappeared and there were 3 spindly stems as seen in the photo. "Were" rather than "are" as I cut one off to photograph it. Not the most exciting of plants but I am curious to know what it is. It self-seeds.
Looks like a job for a wild flower expert :-)

I now think this could be Salvia stenophylla. https://les-aromes-du-gres.com/plantes/sauges/salvia-stenophylla
