Pedicularis lanata
From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Wooly Lousewort (Pedicularis lanata): There are few collections/reports of this species from the region; most (all?) from the southern islands (Dall Island, Revillagigedo Island, and Prince of Wales Island).
Given the relatively isolate occurrence of this species on the southern Southeast Alaska islands and Haida Gwaii (as opposed to much more continental distribution in the rest of BC - with the nearest other coastal collection well to the north at the Malaspina forelands), it may be worth investigating whether this coastal population shows genetic evidence of isolation during the last ice age.
