The genus Pedicularis L. (Orobanchaceae), including 600-700 species, is a
common element of alpine, subalpine and tundra floras in Asia, Europe, and
North America, and over two-thirds species are distributed in the Pan-
Himalaya. Molecular phylogenetic evidence was adopted in reconstructing a
classification system of the genus and in revising confusing species, and a
statistical analysis of morphological traits was conducted for some confusing
species. This volume of the Flora of Pan-Himalaya includes 173 Pedicularis
species of alternate leave, with 116 species endemic to the Pan-Himalaya. The
nomenclatural novelties include 91 new synonyms of species and subspecies, 13
new synonyms of varieties, five new names, and 62 lectotypes are newly
designated. A distribution map is given for each species. This book provides a
comprehensive taxonomic revision for the species-rich genus in the Pan-
Himalaya, and is a professional reference book for botanists, university
teachers and students, forestry staffs and plant lovers.
