Thank you Jackie for your help. I have tentatively identified this as Hairy Skullcap. It seems there is a fair amount of variation of appearance of this species and they can be difficult to separate from others in this genus.
Some kind of Skullcap. Similar to Heart-Leaved Skullcap (Scutellaria ovata), but it doesn't look *quite* the same.
