|discussion=<p><i>Castilleja chrysantha</i> is endemic to the mountains of northeastern Oregon, and its patterns of variation need further study. Most plants in the Blue Mountains are taller, more erect, and tolerate lower elevation habitats than populations around the type locality in the Wallowa Mountains. Plants with purplish inflorescences and longer hairs were described as C. ownbeyana and tend to favor drier talus and ridges than plants like the type, found in flat, mesic, montane to subalpine meadows. Hybrids between <i>C. chrysantha</i> and <i>C. fraterna</i> occur in Wallowa County. In the Wallowa Mountains, a recurrent and variable hybrid form between <i>C. chrysantha</i> and <i>C. rhexiifolia</i> was described as C. wallowensis Pennell.</p>
