|discussion=<p><i>Kopsiopsis strobilacea</i> is parasitic on <i>Arbutus menziesii</i> and inland species of <i>Arctostaphylos</i>. Some populations in Marin, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties, California, and Jackson and Josephine counties, Oregon, where the ranges of the two species would allow contact, present characters intermediate with <i>K. hookeri</i>. The intermediate conditions observed were corolla lobes more or less ciliate versus glabrous and floral bracts narrower (almost lanceolate versus spatulate); intermediate specimens examined are at CAS, GH, NY, ORE, OSC, and RSA. Although the two species are almost completely allopatric, morphological evidence points to the possibility that some genetic exchange has occurred between the two species. The intermediate conditions were observed only in individuals within populations of <i>K. strobilacea</i> in the northern portion of the geographical range. No intermediate characters were observed in <i>K. hookeri</i>.</p>
