A comprehensive study of the biology of two Pedicularis species (P. palustris L., P. sceptrum-carolinum L.) in the Moscow region was carried out in order to identify possible causes of vulnerability and reduce the number of their populations. On the basis of plant fi ndings presented in the herbariums of MHA, MW, maps of species distribution in Moscow and the Moscow region was compiled. The key moments of the transition of P. sceptrum-carolinum individuals to heterotrophy were described. The pop
