    This hebaceous plant grows 6-8 feet outside in Summer.. It's purplish stalk is fragrant with many small purple flowers protuding from the main stalk. Leaves are large with opposite leaf arrangement then alternate and opposite, crenated, petioled from the main stalk, pubescent, palmately-veined. The inflorescence appears to be panicled with 3-5 flowers each with their own pedicel. The calyx and corolla form a perianth with the Androecium, androperianth, and the corolla appears zygomorphic and looks salvaform (tubular), and 2 styles of the ovary rise above the corolla. 4 nutlets per inflorescence.
    the floral structure may be, C5K5A5G2. Laminales? Boraginaceae? Chenopdiaceae?
    It is the purple flowering plant on the right side of the second picture.

    You professional help is needed.....
