--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs,</b> perennial, 1.8–4(–5) dm; from a woody caudex; with a taproot. <b>Stems</b> several to many, erect to ascending, unbranched, sometimes branched, hairs spreading, long, soft, mixed with shorter stipitate-glandular ones. <b>Leaves</b> green, linear to narrowly or broadly lanceolate, (1–)3–5(–6) cm, not fleshy, margins wavy (obscure on many pressed specimens), involute, usually 0–3(–5)-lobed, apex broadly acute to rounded; lobes widely spreading, linear to narrowly lanceolate, apex acute to acuminate. <b>Inflorescences</b> 2.5–10 × 2–5.5 cm; bracts proximally greenish, distally red to red-orange, narrowly lanceolate to broadly lanceolate, 3–5-lobed; lobes spreading, distal, if present, ascending, linear or narrowly oblanceolate to triangular, proximals long, arising below mid blade, distals short, sometimes mere teeth, near apex of central lobe, sometimes wavy-margined, apex obtuse to rounded, sometimes acute. <b>Calyces</b> whitish with green veins or green, sometimes purple, distally same color as bracts, sometimes with yellowish band below colored apices, 20–26(–29) mm; abaxial clefts (8–)13–16(–19) mm, adaxial 7–12(–14) mm, clefts 35–50% of calyx length, deeper than laterals, lateral 2–6(–8) mm, 10–30% of calyx length; lobes linear-lanceolate to lanceolate, apex obtuse to acute. <b>Corollas</b> straight to slightly curved, 24–38 mm; tube 14–21 mm; beak exserted from calyx, adaxially green, 11–16.5(–18) mm; abaxial lip green, reduced, visible or not through deep front cleft in calyx, 2 mm, 13% as long as beak; teeth incurved, green, 1 mm. <b>2n</b> = 48.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Castilleja dissitiflora</i> is endemic to several mountain ranges in central and eastern <i>Nevada</i>, in the upper montane and lower subalpine zones. It has the deep abaxial calyx cleft of <i>C. linariifolia</i> and the stipitate-glandular, wavy-margined leaves of <i>C. applegatei </i>var.<i> pinetorum</i>. Based on morphological data, Holmgren suggested that it is an allopolyploid derived from hybridization of <i>C. applegatei </i>var.<i> pinetorum</i> and <i>C. linariifolia</i>. His proposal is plausible and should be further tested. <i>Castilleja dissitiflora</i> is a tetraploid, while both putative parental species have at least some diploid populations.</p>
