About Pedicularis dudleyi Elmer
Pedicularis dudleyi Elmer is a hairy perennial herb. It grows one or more stems between 10 and 30 centimetres (3.9 to 11.8 inches) tall from a caudex. Its leaves reach up to 26 centimetres (10 inches) in length, and are divided into many toothed lobes or lobed leaflets. The inflorescence is a raceme of flowers that grows at the top of the stem. Each individual flower grows up to 2.4 centimetres (0.94 inches) long and is club-shaped, with a hood-like upper lip and a three-lobed lower lip. The flowers are light pink or purplish with darker markings. Long-haired bracts and woolly sepals sit at the base of the flowers. The fruit this species produces is a capsule roughly 1 centimetre (0.39 inches) long, which holds seeds with netted surfaces.
