Stigma and style k. Anther and filament l. Capsule m. Seed. Description:— Perennial. Stem unbranched or many branched at the base, erect or ascending, 5–15 cm , often brown to purplish, villous, and glabrous soon after blooming. Leaves narrowly oblong-lanceolate, 1–2 pinnatisect, lamina 16–32 × 4–8 mm , serrate; leaf segments narrowly spaced, oblong-lanceolate, acutely serrate, mucronate; basal leaves petiolate, petiole 10–30 mm long, upper leaves sessile and broader than basal leaves. Cauline leaves 2(–1) verticillate and 3–4 leaves each whorled. Leaves with white minute mucro at apex. Inflorescence many flowered, oblong, short, lanate-villous, verticillate, scarcely elongating in fruit, up to 5 cm . Bracts broadly ovate, surrounding the calyx, 9– 19 × 4–15 mm , irregularly deeply incised (like pinnatifid), decreasing in size to upwards; lower bracts leaf like, upper bracts narrowly ovate, only toothed at apex. Pedicels erect-spreading, 1–3 mm long. Calyx tubular, 7–11 mm long; tube 4–5 mm , teeth 3–6 mm long. Corolla purple, glabrous, lower lip light pink to white, 18–21 mm ; tube 13–15 mm long, curved or bent; upper lip ± straight, obtuse, rounded. Anthers not mucronate; filaments glabrous. Capsule oblong, 11–16 × 5 mm , obliquely falcate, glabrous, acute. Seeds 1.8–2.1 × 0.5–0.8 mm . FIGURE 2. A. Pedicularis cadmea (photo by H. Yıldırım ) B. P. munzurdaghensis (photo by M. Armağan ) Diagnosis:— Pedicularis munzurdaghensis is morphologically close to P. cadmea , P. arguteserrata , and P. anthemifolia . It differs from P. cadmea by having purple corolla with a lower lip which ranges from pale pink to white (not entirely purple or pink); corolla 18–21 mm in length (not 23–27 mm ); lower corolla lip 6–8 mm in width, and by the middle lobe of the lip being smaller than the others (not 10–12 mm , with all lobes not equal). It is distinguished from P. arguteserrata by having all filaments glabrous (not two filaments hairy); tubular calyx 7–11 mm long, villous (not campanulate, 6–7 mm long, crispate hairy above); and purple corolla, with lower lip pale pink to white (not entirely pinkish violet). Finally, it is distinct from P . anthemifolia by its purple corolla, lower lip pale pink to white (a yellow upper lip with a purplish hue at the apex); tubular calyx 7–11 mm long, villous, unequally 5-toothed (not cupular subinflated, glabrous, equally 5-toothed); leaf segments narrowly spaced, oblong-lanceolate, acutely serrate (not leaf segments widely spaced, linear, acutely serrate, serrulate or sometimes subentire) ( Table 1 , Fig. 2 , Fig. 3 ).

Phenology:— Flowering and fruiting from May to June. Distribution and habitat:— Known up to now only from two localities on Munzur Mountains, growing in limestone rocky crevices on mountains between 1800–2520 m . Etymology:— The species epithet refers to the Munzur Mountains (extending between Erzincan and Tunceli ), the type locality. Vernacular name:— Ak sakallı that is means white-bearded ( Turkey ).
