Taxonomic Comments
Castilleja lassenensis has been included in C. lemmonii by Kartesz (1999) and other authors. Egger and Malaby (2015) examined specimens in the field and herbarium and found that the "plants have consistent and visually striking differences from the Sierra Nevada populations of C. lemmonii and that these differences, together with the disjunct nature of their populations...warrant their formal taxonomic recognition.
