|discussion=<p><i>Cordylanthus capitatus</i> is often associated with <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> and may be hemiparasitic on it.</p><!--
--><p><i>Cordylanthus capitatus</i> is distinguished by having only two anthers, each with one fertile pollen sac; infertile vestiges of the second pollen sac usually are present. The species can be recognized by its short-capitate inflorescences, the single, spathelike, deeply cleft calyx lobe, and the purple-red corollas with yellow tips.</p>
