Description

This the the holotype sheet and only known collection of this apparently very rare endemic of the El Cielo region. After much study, I'm fairly confident the type locality is within 1 km of the spot indicated. This species is likely only findable after some good periods of rain. The plants are thin and not brightly colored and are among the most divergent of Castilleja species in morphology. This species has a very close relative in the Sierra Madre Occidental, C. chlorosceptron, and there are a few posts of that species on iNat/Naturalista, so you can get a "search image" for what they look like. Any botanists in the El Cielo area should watch for this species, as we presently know almost nothing about it, and it has never been photographed in life. Good luck, and please tag me if you find it!!

Description

Rare but highly distinctive endemic of the understory of pine forests south of El Salto, Durango. This is a rarely documented species, but it should be looked for in this area of Durango. This observation is also documented with an herbarium collection, M. Egger 1287, WTU.

Description

NOTE: location is approximate, and the GPS coordinates are not precise. This is a very rare species and should be treated as such. It should be considered highly endangered, despite its entire range being within the designated Eagle Cap Wilderness area, global warming and the resultant climate change being an existential threat to its survival, which is likely dependent on sufficient, reliable, and well-timed snowmelt.
