Hultén (1967) listed three subspecies of Pedicularis lanata, subspp. adamsii (Hultén) Hultén, dasyantha (Hadač) Hultén, and pallasii (Vvedensky) Hultén, as occurring in Eurasia; only subsp. lanata is found in North America.

The beakless galea has a single tooth on each abaxial margin at the distal tip of the galea apex. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
