Pedicularis Siphonantha Var. Typica

Pedicularis siphonantha var. typica is a rare and striking member of the Orobanchaceae family known for its unique floral structure and vivid coloration. Native to the alpine regions of western North America, this plant thrives in cool, moist environments at high elevations. Its distinctive spurred petals and elongated calyx make it easily identifiable among other members of its genus. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its small size and limited distribution. This plant serves as an important indicator of healthy alpine ecosystems and warrants further study and conservation efforts.
