|discussion=<p><i>Pedicularis parviflora</i> belongs to a complex of taxa [including <i>P. parviflora</i> var. macrodontis (Richardson) S. L. Welsh, and <i>P. pennellii</i>] that have traditionally been treated as species, subspecies, or varieties. Two features unite this group: a highly branched paniculate raceme and a tooth on each medial margin of the galea covered with pyriform glands on the inner surface. Lack of apical teeth sets <i>P. parviflora</i> apart from <i>P. palustris</i> and <i>P. pennellii</i>, which have both sets of teeth.</p><!--
--><p>The distinction of <i>Pedicularis</i> macrodontis is not clear. With a galea that lacks apical teeth, it is clearly associated with <i>P. parviflora</i>, but there are no unique characters to set it apart as a distinct species; all foliar and floral features are very similar. A number of intermediate specimens were seen, suggesting a lack of reproductive barriers; treatment as a variety of <i>P. parviflora</i>, following S. L. Welsh (1974), may be warranted, but further research is required before recognizing it as a taxon.</p>
