SIKKIM HIMALAYA ; Kongra Lama, alt. 14-15,000 ft., J. D. H.
Rootstock stout. Stems 2-4 in. Radical leaves 1 in. very shortly petioled, lower cauline sessile, 1/2 in. Spikes globose or oblong, top rounded ; bracts as long as the calyx, rounded, crenulate ; flowers 1/2-2/3 in. long. Calyx 1/6 in. long, hirsute, lobes obtuse, very short. Corolla dark purple ; tube broad, half as long again as the calyx ; upper lip with a sharply inflexed but hardly beaked tip.—The specimens are from one locality only, and not in fruit ; they resemble P. brevifolia, Don, a good deal, but the flowers are more numerous and denser, and the upper corolla lip is hardly beaked. P. Korol-kowi, Regel, is another closely allied plant, differing in the glabrous calyx with longer teeth.

Please check Pedicularis !
Could not find a match as per comparative images at Pedicularis
What are the species listed in the area?
It should be P. roylei. But there are subspecies of this so needs to resolve to a lower taxa level.
I also have doubt of P. cheilanthifolia. Please chech characters of both P. roylei and this one.
Sir the species matches closely with Pedicularis globifera.
Yes !
