Dear Mr. Garg,
Attached are two different flowers that I need help with the ID's.

First, is this Pedicularis porrecta? The photo was taken in September on Phulchowki at elevation 2250. The flower color is not right for P. porrecta.

I need help with a flower at 2000m Phulchowki attached.
Thank you
karen

To me appears more closer to Pedicularis gracilis as per details and images herein and as per comparative images at Pedicularis

Dear Mr. Garg Sir,
I think the photo attached is Pedicularis gracillis. The previous photo the flowers are on long stalks and paired.
Thank You,
Karen

Pedicularis porrecta is a high altitude plant found above 3600m.
The second one is Pedicularis gracilis Wall. ex Benth. !
Thank you.

Not at the same elevation, the paired flowers was at 2200m, the P gracilis was at 2760m. Both flowers are growing on Phulchowki.

Good. This appears to be much branched as for Pedicularis brunoniana Wall. ex Pennell (Pedicularis pennelliana Tsoong as per Checklist of Nepal), as in keys at Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas By Francis . Pennell (1942).
What do you think after looking at herbarium specimens ?

Yes, I would agree with you after looking at the specimens. Thank you for taking those extra steps to identify this one.

Sir, one more question, was Pediuclaris changed from Scrophulariacea to Orobanchaceae?
Thank you,

Hi, Saroj ji,
Do you have any keys for these subspecies ?
Karen ji may further check and confirm.
To me these look different.

Dear Garg and Saroj sirs, 

Thank you for your research. I will compare the leaves and flower shapes with these specimens and get back to you. 

Today I found two more Pedicularis plants. One with white flowers was small hardly 5cm tall. The pink and white flowered one was a bit taller. They were growing almost side by side in a wet grassy area on a south-facing slope - elevation 2300m.
Regards,
Karen

I guess more close to Pedicularis gracilis subsp. stricta Tsoong!
Thank you.

Yes, Karen ji.
This appears to be Pedicularis gracilis subsp. gracilis var. gracilis as per Pedicularis gracilis Wall. Ex Benth. (Scrophulariaceae) Complex in the Himalayas – A Taxonomic Reinvestigation- Tariq Husain Arti Garg- March 2003 Taiwania 48(1)

Dear Mr. Garg,

I am sending a photo. I hope it is the right one. After looking at the paper on Research Gate it looks similar to P. gracilis var. gracilis - I think.
Let me know if you had a different photo in mind. 
Regards,
Karen
