|discussion=<p><i>Castilleja aquariensis</i> is endemic to the Aquarius Plateau in the mountains of south-central Utah. Its meadow habitats were severely degraded by livestock grazing, and at one time the species was a candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act of the United States. It is still a species of management concern.</p><!--
--><p><i>Castilleja aquariensis</i> is in the Center for Plant Conservation’s National Collection of Endangered Plants.</p>
