I am trying to identify the Pedicularis species photographed in Popova Šapka, Šar, North Macedonia. It seems to be identical with
alleged Pedicularis friderici-augusti from
http://portal.cybertaxonomy.org/flora-greece/cdm_dataportal/taxon/30a79a13-6946-4abf-8ed3-9e4ad1ad54d9
But the real thing to which the name belongs has pale yellow flowers .
It looks like Pedicularis friderici-augusti from other photos
Protologue is here

Corollae in vivente planta color laete ochroleucus, seri-
ceo splendore nitens; post nuptias, uti et in exsiccatis spe-
ciminibus ex aurantio fuscus.
Corolla colour in living plant cheerfully pale yellow, glowing with silky beauty;
after fertilization as in exsiccate specimens orange-brown.
It is clear. I wonder who is responsible for the chaos.
My plant is similar to Pedicularis verticillata. Differs in green calyces which are white hairy, and dark anthers translucent through upper lip. Rose corolla colour may occur in the latter occasionally.
