|discussion=<p>Subspecies jepsonii is distributed primarily in the Central Valley and surrounding mountains from the Cascade Range of Plumas and Shasta counties in the Sierra Nevada to Kern County and the central California Coast Ranges from Santa Cruz to Tehama counties.</p><!--
--><p>The most frequently reported hosts for subsp. jepsonii are Baccharis, Grindelia, and Solidago (Asteraceae). Reports of Eriophyllum are unconfirmed, and reports of non-Asteraceae hosts such as Eriogonum and Rubus are highly unlikely.</p><!--
--><p>Subspecies jepsonii is circumscribed similarly to what Munz described as Orobanche grayana var. jepsonii. It includes foothill and montane plants that resemble subsp. grayana in size and corymbose inflorescence, albeit with a deeper colored corolla and a preference for dry, rocky habitats.</p><!--
--><p>L. R. Heckard (1973) indicated that subsp. jepsonii and subsp. grayana are very similar both geographically and morphologically. The two subspecies are separated by minor differences in plant size, corolla color and shape, and habitat.</p>
