--><p><i>Castilleja pilosa</i> is a widespread and variable complex similar in growth form and coloration to <i>C. pallescens</i> and related species. However, <i>C. pilosa</i> is distinguished with relative ease by its subequally divided calyces. Plants of the <i>C. pallescens</i> complex have very shallow lateral calyx lobes.</p>
