Distribution:
Distribution: E. Afghanistan, Pakistan (Chitral/Dir).
Comment/Acknowledgements:
We have maintained this as an independent species with considerable doubt. It is extremely closely allied to
Scutellaria petiolata
, but the very slight stem indumentum differences combined with the clear geographical disjunction and also the fact that there are other Afghan species that come into the problem (e.g.
Scutellaria poliochlora
Rech. f. & Edelb. and
Scutellaria neubaueri
Rech. f.) made us defer reducing it to, synonymy. It is possible that further collecting in Waziristan will yield specimens that completely break down the slender reasons for maintaining
Scutellaria nuristanica
.

Apparently only differing from
Scutellaria petiolata
in characters of stem indumentum:sparsely pruinose or glabrous below in
Scutellaria nuristanica
. The two species are also clearly disjunct.
