Basionym: Pedicularis scopulorum A. Gray in A. Gray et al. Syn. Fl. N. Amer. 2(1): 308. 1878
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 17. Treatment on page 533. Mentioned on page 521, 532, 534.

Racemes: bracts white-lanate. Flowers: calyx white-lanate, lobes triangular, margins entire distally; corolla: galea purple to magenta, margins entire medially, 1-toothed or entire distally; abaxial lip pale-purple to magenta, not purple-spotted.

Discussion

Subspecies scopulorum can be mistaken for Pedicularis cystopteridifolia, which has similar flowers and growth form. The leaves of subsp. scopulorum, however, are not finely dissected like those of P. cystopteridifolia.
