|discussion=<p><i>Castilleja uliginosa</i> is endemic to Pitkin Marsh in Sonoma County. It differs from <i>C. miniata</i> by its uniformly pale yellow inflorescences and pubescent stems, as well as by its disjunct, low-elevation habitat. Much of its available habitat was destroyed by development, and it is apparently now extirpated from the wild. It survives in the form of tissue clones from the last wild plant, backcrossed with <i>C. miniata</i> by L. R. Heckard in the 1980s and maintained since then in the greenhouses at the University of California at Berkeley.</p>
