|discussion=<p>As delimited here, <i>Castilleja lemmonii</i> is endemic to the highlands of the Sierra <i>Nevada</i> in California and in adjacent Washoe County, <i>Nevada</i>. It differs from <i>C. lassenensis</i>, a plant of volcanic highlands around Mt. Lassen, which has consistently white corollas. Corollas are usually pink to purplish in <i>C. lemmonii</i>. <i>Castilleja lemmonii</i> also tends to have somewhat shorter lateral calyx clefts, though the two species overlap slightly in this character.</p>
