潘氏马先蒿(原亚种) pan shi ma xian hao (yuan ya zhong)

Pedicularis furfuracea Wallich var. integrifolia J. D. Hooker.

Plants to 30--60 cm tall. Leaves 2.5--5 cm, abaxially white scurfy, adaxially pubescent. Calyx lobes unequal. Corolla ca. 1.7 cm; lower lip ciliate, middle lobe rounded. Capsule triangular-lanceolate, 1.8--2 cm.

Wet boggy places, wet banks in dense mixed forests. 3500--4200 m. S and SE Xizang, NW Yunnan [Bhutan, India (Darjeeling), Nepal, Sikkim]

Plants apparently identical to the typical subsp. but with capsules ca. 1.5 cm and leaves ± glabrous have been referred to as Pedicularis pantlingii subsp. brachycarpa P. C. Tsoong (Fl. Reipubl. Popularis Sin. 68: 143. 1963); however, the name is invalid because it lacks a Latin description. Since the minor differences in capsular length and indumentum may be related to growing conditions, further study is required.
