Pedicularis

Pedicularis is a genus of perennial green root parasite plants


currently placed in the family Orobanchaceae (the genus Pedicularis
previously having been placed in Scrophulariaceae sensu
lato[1]).

Taxonomy
The common name lousewort, applied to several species,
derives from an old belief that these plants, when ingested,
were responsible for lice infestations in livestock.[2][3] The
genus name Pedicularis is from the Latin pediculus meaning
louse.[4] Over 600 species are accepted, mostly from the wetter
northern temperate zones, as well as from South America. The
highest diversity is in eastern Asia, with 352 species accepted
in China alone.[5][6]

Pollination (Moor-king Lousewort)

Bombus polaris has an essential role in the pollination of the


large zygomorphic flowers of Pedicularis.[8] B. polaris has a
special adaption that allows it to work the spikes of Pedicularis
from the bottom towards the top.[8]
