|discussion=<p>Variety densiflora usually has a pink to purple inflorescence, although rare individuals in a population may be white; in the San Francisco Bay region, purely white-bracted populations are interspersed among typical populations with pink-purple bracts. This variety differs from the other two varieties in the structure of the abaxial lip of the corolla. In addition, it is distinguished from <i></i>var.<i> gracilis</i> by a less exserted corolla within a slightly longer calyx and subtending bracts. Within the range of the species, <i></i>var.<i> densiflora</i> extends a little farther north, and <i></i>var.<i> gracilis</i> is more common to the south. Confusing intermediates are occasionally found, suggesting possible hybridization with either <i>Castilleja ambigua </i>var.<i> ambigua</i> or <i>C. attenuata</i>. A peculiar form from Inverness, Marin County, was named <i>Orthocarpus</i> noctuinus Eastwood and treated later by some as a hybrid with <i>C. rubicundula </i>var.<i> lithospermoides</i>.</p>
