'''''Pedicularis lanata''''' is a species of [flowering plant](/source/flowering_plant) in the family [Orobanchaceae](/source/Orobanchaceae). It is native to [Canada](/source/Canada) and [Alaska](/source/Alaska).<ref>{{cite web|url= http://plants.usda.gov/plant-profile?symbol=pela14|title=''Pedicularis lanata''|publisher=Plants Profile|work=[USDA](/source/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture)|access-date=November 2, 2013}}</ref> Its common names include '''woolly lousewort''' and '''bumble-bee flower'''.<ref name=awf/>

==Description==
The plant has a wooly stem {{convert|5|-|25|cm}} tall which grows from a bright yellow [taproot](/source/taproot). The narrow leaves are lobed or compound, the lower on long [petioles](/source/petiole_(botany)). The woolly, many-flowered [inflorescence](/source/inflorescence) is dense when new, elongating with maturity. The corolla is up to 2 centimeters long and is usually dark pink, but sometimes white. It is surrounded by toothed [sepal](/source/sepal)s. The fruit is a flat, beaked capsule {{convert|8|-|13|mm}} long. The seeds have a honeycomb-patterned surface.<ref name=flora>[http://www.flora.dempstercountry.org/0.Site.Folder/Species.Program/Species2.php?species_id=Pedi.lana ''Pedicularis lanata''.] Central Yukon Species Inventory Project (CYSIP).
