Pedicularis Cheilanthifolia Var. Typica

Yellow monkey orchid, scientifically known as Pedicularis cheilanthifolia var. typica, is a rare and striking member of the Orobanchaceae family. Native to the high altitudes of the Himalayas, this plant thrives in cool, moist environments where sunlight is limited. Its unique appearance, featuring bright yellow petals and a distinctive monkey-like face, has made it a subject of fascination for botanists and plant enthusiasts alike. Despite its beauty, the Yellow monkey orchid is highly sensitive to environmental changes, making it vulnerable to habitat loss and climate shifts. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure its survival in the wild.
