|discussion=<p><i>Castilleja organorum</i> is endemic to the Organ Mountains of Doña Ana County. Reports from the mountains of the Mogollon Rim of east-central Arizona and adjacent New Mexico are based on specimens of <i>C. nelsonii</i>. <i>Castilleja organorum</i> is grouped with <i>C. linariifolia</i> by some authors (for example, G. L. Nesom 1992c), but it has subequal abaxial and adaxial calyx clefts and is more likely closely related to <i>C. integra</i>. <i>Castilleja organorum</i> differs from the latter species in its loose, often profusely branched habit, more compact inflorescences, and usually smaller corollas. In Fillmore Canyon, <i>C. integra</i>, <i>C. lanata</i>, and <i>C. organorum</i> are all found, but each is in a different habitat, and there is no sign of hybridization.</p>
