|discussion=<p>The range of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> inverta</i> somewhat overlaps that of the similar <i>Castilleja oresbia</i>, but the two are separable by the characters of the key. The inflorescences of both species are usually pale straw yellow to pale green.</p><!--
--><p>In Lemhi County, Idaho, primarily on alpine ridges along the summit of the Lemhi Range, plants apparently referable to <i></i></i>var.<i><i> inverta</i> occur in large numbers. Almost all of them have deep reddish purple inflorescences, with a few rare variants of pale pink or pale yellow. This population system occurs on the border of the ranges of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> inverta</i> and <i></i></i>var.<i><i> pallescens</i>, and the entire complex deserves further study.</p>
