TY -JOUR AU -Arti Garg TI -Critical Taxonomic Appraisal of Some Taxa of Pedicularis from Indian Himalayas Belonging to Section Siphonanthae PY -2009 DA -0000-00-00 JO -Taiwania VL -54 IS -2 SP -122 EP -133 UR -https://taiwania.ntu.edu.tw/abstract/903 AB -The existing confusion on the taxonomic status of five taxa of Pedicularis viz. P. punctata Decne, P. siphonantha D. Don, P. hookeriana Wall. ex Benth., P. megalantha D. Don and P. hoffmeisteri Kl. ex Kl. & Garcke is resolved on the basis of critical morphological study. These taxa belong to section Siphonanthae, subgenus Longirostres. Pennell’s view of segregating these taxa into distinct species is defended and upheld. DO -10.6165/tai.2009.54(2).122
