I hope taxonomy of Pedicularis is largely based on phyllotaxy of leaves in addition to features of flower beak. Suresh ji's plant has clearly whorled leaveswith usually four leaves in a whorl, where as Pedicularis scullyana has alternate leaves. more so it has not been reported west of Nepal and as such not included in Pennell's Scrophulariaceae of Western Himalayas.
