|discussion=<p>Zeltnera multicaulis is widespread in Mexico, although the populations are widely scattered, occurring there at both higher and lower elevations. In the flora area, it is known only from Culberson and Presidio counties, Texas. From the similarly long-pedicelled Z. exaltata, which does not occur in Texas, Z. multicaulis differs in that its corolla lobes are distinctly more than half as long as the tube.</p>
