چکیده
We report Pedicularis gracilis var. brunoniana (Wall. ex Pennell) T. Husain & Arti Garg (Orobanchaceae) for the first time from Ladakh, a region of Trans-Himalaya in India. This variety is most similar to P. macrocarpa but differs having out-curved galea, long calyx lobes with hairy margin. Detailed morphological notes along photographs are provided validate this and facilitate field identification taxon. As we observed only small populations variety, strategies likely required its conservation Himalayan region.
