A major expansion or bulge, such as on the margin of a leaf, sepal, or petal, or on the surface of an ovary. 2. The free tips of otherwise fused structures, such as sepals or petals; larger than teeth. generally 2 (4 in some plants); fruit ± lanceolate  Narrowly elongate, widest in the basal half, often tapered to an acute tip. in outline 2. Upper corolla lip hooded, not beaked; leaf  Organ arising from a stem, generally composed of a stalk (petiole) and a flat, expanded, green, photosynthetic area (blade); distinguished from a leaflet by the presence in its axil of a bud, branch, thorn, or flower; sometimes with lateral, basal appendages (stipules); either simple (toothed, lobed, or dissected but not divided into leaflets) or compound (divided into leaflets). ± doubly crenate  Pertaining to margins with shallow, rounded teeth, between which are usually acute sinuses (i.e., scalloped) ; stem generally simple ..... P. crenulata 2' Upper corolla lip extended in a long, down-curved beak; leaf serrate  Having margins with sharp, fine to coarse teeth generally pointing tipward, not outward; margins with such teeth on such primary teeth are doubly serrate. to dentate  Having margins with sharp, relatively coarse teeth pointing outward, not tipward. ; stem generally branched distally ..... P. racemosa 1' Leaf (at least some) deeply lobed to compound; calyx lobes 5; fruit ovoid 3. Proximal cauline leaf segments generally 3–5(11), ovate  Egg-shaped (i.e., widest below the middle) in two dimensions (i.e., in one plane), as a leaf. , entire  Having margins that are continuous and smooth (i.e., without teeth, lobes, etc.). to toothed, terminal >> lateral; basal  At or near the base of a plant or plant part. Especially said of leaves clustered near the ground or of a placenta confined to the base of an ovary. leaves 0 at flower ..... P. howellii 3' Proximal cauline leaf segments > 5, serrate to divided, terminal segment not largest; basal leaves generally present at flower (except Pedicularis bracteosa) 4. Corolla not club-like, upper lip with a long, narrow beak 5. Corolla white to ± yellow, upper lip 4–5.5 mm, beak curved downward, not like an elephant's trunk ..... P. contorta 5' Corolla pink to purple, upper lip 3.5–18 mm, beak curved upward, ± like an elephant's trunk 4' Corolla ± club-like, upper lip hooded, not beaked 7' Corolla ± yellow or ± purple, lower lip generally >> 1/4 upper 8' Stem <= 30 cm; inflorescence generally <= leaves; basal leaves present at flower; corolla ± yellow or ± purple 9' Corolla pink to ± purple, glabrous; filaments glabrous 10. Corolla 30–42 mm, pale purple, darker-tipped, lower lip > 1/2 upper, its lobes rounded, wavy-margined; leaf margin wavy, white, thickened ..... P. centranthera 10' Corolla 17–24 mm, pink or purple to purple-red, lower lip < upper, its lobes pointed, not wavy-margined; leaf margin not wavy, white, or thickened ..... P. dudleyi
