Pedicularis porrecta from Valley

I think yes


Wonderful! One peculiarity of Pedicularis porrecta is that there are only two flowers in each node. Your pictures illustrate it well.

unknown Pedicularis : 3 posts by 2 authors.

would anybody know the species name?
16/10/18
ca 3000m above the forest in a dry meadow
Nepal Sherpaland (green trail on photo)

I think Pedicularis porrecta Wall. ex Benth. as per comparative images at Pedicularis

.



SK 3220 12 September 2021: 11 high res. images.

Location: Jumla, West Nepal
Altitude: 2500m.
Date: 25 August 2021 
Habit : Wild
Looks different from P. gracilis. Some of its subsp./ var ?


This may be Pedicularis gracilis subsp. subsp. brunoniana (Wall. ex Pennell) Husain & Garg (syn: Pedicularis gracilis subsp. brunoniana (Wall. ex Pennell) T. Husain & Arti Garg) only as per Catalogue of Life & as per details at Pedicularis gracilis Wall. Ex Benth. (Scrophulariaceae) Complex in the Himalayas – A Taxonomic Reinvestigation– Tariq Husain Arti Garg- March 2003 Taiwania 48(1).

May I request Arti ji to pl. confirm or otherwise. 
Another possibility can be Pedicularis porrecta Wall. ex Benth., but elevation looks a bit on the lower side.


Sure … Better to get opinion from her. P. porrect elevation is much different.


This is closer to P. porrecta Wall. ex Benth. on basis of photographs.
Could you allow me to use the photograph in case I need to compare with my new species, with due acknowledgement.


Yes you can … with my copyright. By the way I could not find the keys and description for this sp. and looks much difference in the elevation. Could you please share if you have ?
