Castilleja wallowensis is a taxonomically controversial species of paintbrush, endemic to the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon.[1][2]
Taxonomy
[edit]This species is still of debatable status. Plants of the World Online (POWO) and International Plant Name Index (IPNI)[3] recognizes this as full species, while other authorities like Flora of North America (FNA) and Oregon Flora treat it as a synonym of Castilleja chrysantha, and possibly a hybrid between that species and Rhexia-leaf Paintbrush (C. rhexxifolia).[4] More study is needed to resolve these relationships.
