The stems and flower stalks look as if they have glandular hairs? Here is a detailed description of the species, unfortunately in inches (") and feet. http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/weeds/plants/moth_mullein.htm

PlantNET gives "Erect, mostly unbranched biennial to 0.5–1.2 m high, with glabrous below, with stalked or sessile glands above." Something missing, but I assume they mean stems glandular-hairy.

I always thought stalked glands and gland-tipped hairs are probably the same thing. I leave that sort of detail to people who use electron microscopes.
