This plant appeared at the Pinnell Mountain Trail parking lot on Twelvemile
Summit in 2007. It may be a
red variety of C. caudata. Hultén's drawing of a single stem
is a better match for this flower than it is
for the more common yellow-flowered plant. The Genus Castilleja has
been moved to the family
Orobanchaceae according to ITIS.
