--><p>Species of <i>Castilleja</i> occur in a wide range of habitats, from sea level to high alpine and from salt marshes and freshwater wetlands to tundra and deserts. Diversity is highest in grasslands, subalpine and alpine parklands, and other meadows, and is lower in densely forested regions. Some species tolerate a wide range of substrates, while others are specialists on soils derived from limestone, basalt, sandstone, granite, or serpentine.</p><!--

--><p>All species of <i>Castilleja</i> are presumed to be root-hemiparasites, with most species studied experimentally growing more vigorously in the presence of a host (L. R. Heckard 1962). While some species of the Intermountain Region, such as <i>C. chromosa</i>, <i>C. flava</i>, and <i>C. linariifolia</i>, are closely associated with species of <i>Artemisia</i> (N. H. Holmgren 1984), host specificity is not well documented for many species. Some species occur primarily with <i>Asteraceae</i> hosts (especially <i>Artemisia</i>), Fabaceae (especially Lupinus), <i>Poaceae</i> (especially bunchgrasses), and <i>Polygonaceae</i> (especially <i>Eriogonum</i>) (M. Ownbey 1959; Holmgren; T. I. Chuang and Heckard 1993b; J. M. Egger, unpubl.). Many species of <i>Castilleja</i> will flower in greenhouse garden studies when grown on <i>Helianthus</i> and on mat-forming Raoulia Hooker f. ex Raoul species, both <i>Asteraceae</i> (Heckard; Egger, unpubl.).</p><!--

--><p>Species with red to red-orange inflorescences often are visited and pollinated by nectar-seeking hummingbirds.

Field observations confirm at least the occasional occurrence of selective, trap-line foraging on species of <i>Castilleja</i> by Hymenoptera. A few species, such as <i>C. cryptantha</i>, are self-pollinating (W. J. Duffield 1972). Some species are important food plants for various Lepidoptera larvae, especially Euphydryas (for example, P. R. Ehrlich et al. 1975) and Platyptilla (W. H. Lange 1950), and as nectar sources for hawkmoths (Hyles) (F. S. Crosswhite and C. D. Crosswhite 1970). Some species are known to serve as alternate or intermediate hosts for certain rust fungi (Cronartium, Endocronartium) (for example, D. B. O.

Savile 1968c) and for hummingbird flower mites (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) (A. J. Heyneman et al. 1991). The leaves, stems, and inflorescences of many species are adult food sources for a variety of insects, including Coleoptera, Heteroptera, and Homoptera. Coleopteran species are especially common on a wide variety of species of <i>Castilleja</i>, especially in the inflorescences, and field studies show preliminary evidence of species-specific relationships between plant and beetle species. Species of <i>Castilleja</i> are grazed by Canada geese and by mammals, including voles, packrats, porcupines, deer, and introduced cattle, goats, and sheep.</p><!--
 
--><p>Several species of <i>Castilleja</i> are used as ornamentals (J. Borland 1994; T. Luna 2005), as natural dyes, and by Native Americans for medicinal, practical, and ceremonial purposes (D. E. Moerman 1998).</p><!--

--><p>A number of <i>Castilleja</i> species contain alkaloids, including some assimilated from parasitized hosts via haustorial bridges (for example, F. R. Stermitz and G. H. Harris 1987). Various Lepidopterans utilizing species of <i>Castilleja</i> as larval food plants either sequester or excrete the alkaloid chemicals (Stermitz et al. 1986, 1986b). The presence of alkaloids in the bracts and calyces of at least some species increases lifetime seed production through decreased herbivory and increased visitation by pollinators (L. S. Adler 2000). Some species of <i>Castilleja</i> are reported to absorb and concentrate selenium, producing potentially toxic effects in grazing animals (I. Rosenfeld and O. A. Beath 2013).</p><!--

--><p>Aside from limited taxonomic treatments in regional floras and works addressing particular species groups, the first comprehensive modern revision of the taxonomy and phylogenetic classification of <i>Castilleja</i> was the generic realignment and synopsis of the subtribe Castillejinae proposed by T. I. Chuang and L. R. Heckard (1991). In that work, <i>Castilleja</i> was considerably expanded, with the fragmentation of the traditional genus <i>Orthocarpus</i> and the movement of <i>Orthocarpus</i> sect. Castillejoides A. Gray into <i>Castilleja</i>, based on morphological congruities, base chromosome numbers, and other factors. Another monospecific genus, Gentrya Breedlove & Heckard, was also moved to <i>Castilleja</i>. Chuang and Heckard provided a detailed summary of earlier attempts at infrageneric classification in <i>Castilleja</i> and proposed the beginnings of a revised infrageneric classification, but their treatment in this regard was provisional and incomplete, primarily addressing the placement of the newly included groups and the species most closely related to them morphologically. More recently, additional comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of subtribe Castillejinae by D. C. Tank and R. G. Olmstead (2008) and Tank et al. (2009) largely confirmed the generic realignment by Chuang and Heckard but determined that two additional monospecific genera from Mexico, Ophiocephalus Wiggins and Clevelandia Greene, were well nested within a monophyletic <i>Castilleja</i>. However, no infrageneric classification for <i>Castilleja</i> was proposed at that time, due to discordance between previous taxonomic hypotheses and the results of genetic studies to date. Since the phylogenetic classification of <i>Castilleja</i> is the subject of ongoing research, no taxonomic structure for the North American species is proposed here.</p>

Herbs or subshrubs, rarely shrubs, annual or perennial, sometimes biennial; hemiparasitic, caudex woody or fleshy, taprooted to fibrous-rooted or rhizomatous. Stems 1–200, strongly decumbent to erect, sometimes prostrate or sprawling, frequently with leafy axillary shoots, not fleshy, glabrous or pubescent, hairs eglandular or stipitate-glandular, unbranched, rarely ± to much-branched or stellate. Leaves mostly deciduous, cauline, mostly alternate, reduced proximally or forming basal rosettes in a few species; petiole absent or present; blade fleshy or not, leathery or not, margins entire or pinnately to ± palmately divided. Inflorescences terminal, compact to elongate spikes or secund, sometimes non-secund, racemes; bracts present, often brightly colored distally or throughout. Pedicels absent or present; bracteoles absent. Flowers: sepals 4, calyx entirely green or more often conspicuously colored distally, usually as in bracts, contrasting with bracts in a few species, radially or bilaterally symmetric, tubular, lobed distally in usually diagnostic patterns: either cleft into 4 subequal lobes (called segments in some floras), or abaxial and adaxial clefts deeper than 2 lateral clefts, or lateral clefts absent and calyx 2-lobed, or lateral clefts slightly deeper than abaxial and adaxial (C. plagiotoma); petals 5, corolla white to pale greenish proximally, usually becoming green, white, yellow, orange, red, pink, or purple distally, tubular proximally, strongly bilabiate distally and divided into adaxial beak of 2 lobes joined to tip, often with contrasting colors on margins, abaxial lip with 3 highly variable lobes, consisting of either greatly reduced, ± incurved, usually greenish teeth, or subpetaloid, contrastingly colored teeth, or shallow to deep, often more brightly colored pouches with small, apical, often contrastingly colored teeth, adaxial lip ± straight, beaked, opening directed forward; stamens 4, didynamous, filaments glabrous or spreading-hairy (C. exserta), pollen sacs 2, unequal; staminode 0; ovary 2-locular, placentation axile; stigma capitate, entire, or 2-lobed.

Discussion

Species ca. 200 (119 in the flora).

Castilleja can be distinguished most easily from Orthocarpus in the strict sense by the structure of the flowers. The adaxial lip apices of Castilleja are more or less straight to slightly curved (hooked in C. chlorotica, C. exserta, C. mexicana, and C. sessiliflora) and never hooded, with the opening directed forward; in Orthocarpus the adaxial lip is rounded (straight in O. cuspidatus) and hooded, with the opening directed downward. In addition, Castilleja has a capitate to two-lobed stigma, while that of Orthocarpus is simple and unexpanded. An annual habit can be found in some Castilleja and all Orthocarpus. Castilleja has a base chromosome number of x = 12; Orthocarpus is x = 14. Presumed aneuploid reductions to x = 10 are known from three annual Castilleja species (two of these from Mexico), and a reduction to x = 11 is known from one species (T. I. Chuang and L. R. Heckard 1993).

Polyploidy is widespread in Castilleja, with about half of all species exhibiting at least one level of infra-specific polyploidy, including n = 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 (L. R. Heckard 1968; Heckard and T. I. Chuang 1977; Chuang and Heckard 1982).

Many species of Castilleja are fairly well defined morphologically and straightforward to identify using the keys; others have complex patterns of variation within local populations and across edaphic and geographic discontinuities. Some species groups, such as those surrounding C. affinis, C. miniata, and C. pallida, are especially challenging taxonomically, probably due at least in part to allopolyploidy (L. R. Heckard 1968; Heckard and T. I. Chuang 1977). Natural interspecific hybridization, though usually limited to individual plants or local populations, is well documented in the genus (N. H. Holmgren 1971; Heckard and Chuang). Hybrid swarms are observed in some regions, complicating identification (M. Ownbey 1959; J. M. Egger 1994), particularly among coastal populations from southeastern Alaska to central California. Homoploid hybrid speciation has also been proposed in at least one species in this genus (D. L. Clay et al. 2012).

Many of the characters used in the keys and descriptions are gathered from fresh plants. Floral characters were assessed at anthesis; one should avoid immature corollas as well as those persisting after flowering. Good collections require notes on variation in the fresh colors of bracts, calyces, and corollas. Pressing several examples of dissected flowers and bracts, separate from the plant, allows much easier measurement of corolla parts and calyx clefts, which are diagnostic for many taxa. Because these characters are difficult to assess once dried, herbarium material can be difficult to identify. Bract and flower coloration can be distinctive, but color variants are common in many taxa. Inflorescence color is usually a result of bright, non-green coloration in at least the distal portions of the bracts and calyces, although occasionally the corolla color contributes significantly to the coloration of the inflorescence or is more prominent than the colors of the other structures. The amount of bright distal coloration, especially on the bracts, is highly variable between species, within species, and even in individual plants. When only the color of the distal bracts or the distal portion of the bracts is reported here, the proximal bracts and/or the proximal part of the distal bracts are colored like the leaves. Also, in cases where bracts can be brightly colored either throughout or only distally in the same species, the colored throughout statement is presented first, followed by a statement such as "...or proximally greenish, distally as stated above." When the abaxial lip is described as reduced, it is a small green knob consisting of three incurved lobes and is not inflated. In relation to the leaf margins, two independently varying sub-traits are described. The authors contrast wavy (crisped) margins with plane (non-crisped) margins, and flat is used to contrast with involute or revolute margins.

In this treatment, the length of the corolla lobes and tube is measured from the point of contact in the notch between the abaxial lip and adaxial lip (beak). The junction of the lips is easier to find when the flower is fresh. Similarly, presence or absence of wavy leaf margins is easy to assess in the field and should be noted on herbarium labels, but this character is often obscured in herbarium material. While critical to species identification in only a few cases, woodiness or the subshrub habit and the presence of a woody caudex or rhizome should be noted in the field, as these characters are rarely evident in dried specimens.

Species of Castilleja occur in a wide range of habitats, from sea level to high alpine and from salt marshes and freshwater wetlands to tundra and deserts. Diversity is highest in grasslands, subalpine and alpine parklands, and other meadows, and is lower in densely forested regions. Some species tolerate a wide range of substrates, while others are specialists on soils derived from limestone, basalt, sandstone, granite, or serpentine.

All species of Castilleja are presumed to be root-hemiparasites, with most species studied experimentally growing more vigorously in the presence of a host (L. R. Heckard 1962). While some species of the Intermountain Region, such as C. chromosa, C. flava, and C. linariifolia, are closely associated with species of Artemisia (N. H. Holmgren 1984), host specificity is not well documented for many species. Some species occur primarily with Asteraceae hosts (especially Artemisia), Fabaceae (especially Lupinus), Poaceae (especially bunchgrasses), and Polygonaceae (especially Eriogonum) (M. Ownbey 1959; Holmgren; T. I. Chuang and Heckard 1993b; J. M. Egger, unpubl.). Many species of Castilleja will flower in greenhouse garden studies when grown on Helianthus and on mat-forming Raoulia Hooker f. ex Raoul species, both Asteraceae (Heckard; Egger, unpubl.).

Species with red to red-orange inflorescences often are visited and pollinated by nectar-seeking hummingbirds. These and other flower colors also attract nectar-gathering insects, mostly hymenopterans (especially Bombus) (J. M. Egger, unpubl.). Field observations confirm at least the occasional occurrence of selective, trap-line foraging on species of Castilleja by Hymenoptera. A few species, such as C. cryptantha, are self-pollinating (W. J. Duffield 1972). Some species are important food plants for various Lepidoptera larvae, especially Euphydryas (for example, P. R. Ehrlich et al. 1975) and Platyptilla (W. H. Lange 1950), and as nectar sources for hawkmoths (Hyles) (F. S. Crosswhite and C. D. Crosswhite 1970). Some species are known to serve as alternate or intermediate hosts for certain rust fungi (Cronartium, Endocronartium) (for example, D. B. O. Savile 1968c) and for hummingbird flower mites (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) (A. J. Heyneman et al. 1991). The leaves, stems, and inflorescences of many species are adult food sources for a variety of insects, including Coleoptera, Heteroptera, and Homoptera. Coleopteran species are especially common on a wide variety of species of Castilleja, especially in the inflorescences, and field studies show preliminary evidence of species-specific relationships between plant and beetle species. Species of Castilleja are grazed by Canada geese and by mammals, including voles, packrats, porcupines, deer, and introduced cattle, goats, and sheep.

Several species of Castilleja are used as ornamentals (J. Borland 1994; T. Luna 2005), as natural dyes, and by Native Americans for medicinal, practical, and ceremonial purposes (D. E. Moerman 1998).

A number of Castilleja species contain alkaloids, including some assimilated from parasitized hosts via haustorial bridges (for example, F. R. Stermitz and G. H. Harris 1987). Various Lepidopterans utilizing species of Castilleja as larval food plants either sequester or excrete the alkaloid chemicals (Stermitz et al. 1986, 1986b). The presence of alkaloids in the bracts and calyces of at least some species increases lifetime seed production through decreased herbivory and increased visitation by pollinators (L. S. Adler 2000). Some species of Castilleja are reported to absorb and concentrate selenium, producing potentially toxic effects in grazing animals (I. Rosenfeld and O. A. Beath 2013).

Many species of Castilleja decline when grazed by domestic livestock, especially on islands. Grazing by feral animals resulted in the extinction of one species (C. guadalupensis Brandegee) that occurred outside the flora area and the near extinction of several others, including the federally listed C. grisea and C. mollis. Plants are damaged both by cropping of inflorescences and by trampling of the often brittle stems. Removal of grazing pressures usually results in recovery of the affected populations. Numerous species in the flora area are of conservation concern, and many others are restricted in range and habitat and should be monitored. Most species in the flora area are endemic. A few species are peripheral in North America or extend into the mountains of northern and central Mexico or into the boreal and arctic regions of northeastern Asia.

Aside from limited taxonomic treatments in regional floras and works addressing particular species groups, the first comprehensive modern revision of the taxonomy and phylogenetic classification of Castilleja was the generic realignment and synopsis of the subtribe Castillejinae proposed by T. I. Chuang and L. R. Heckard (1991). In that work, Castilleja was considerably expanded, with the fragmentation of the traditional genus Orthocarpus and the movement of Orthocarpus sect. Castillejoides A. Gray into Castilleja, based on morphological congruities, base chromosome numbers, and other factors. Another monospecific genus, Gentrya Breedlove & Heckard, was also moved to Castilleja. Chuang and Heckard provided a detailed summary of earlier attempts at infrageneric classification in Castilleja and proposed the beginnings of a revised infrageneric classification, but their treatment in this regard was provisional and incomplete, primarily addressing the placement of the newly included groups and the species most closely related to them morphologically. More recently, additional comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of subtribe Castillejinae by D. C. Tank and R. G. Olmstead (2008) and Tank et al. (2009) largely confirmed the generic realignment by Chuang and Heckard but determined that two additional monospecific genera from Mexico, Ophiocephalus Wiggins and Clevelandia Greene, were well nested within a monophyletic Castilleja. However, no infrageneric classification for Castilleja was proposed at that time, due to discordance between previous taxonomic hypotheses and the results of genetic studies to date. Since the phylogenetic classification of Castilleja is the subject of ongoing research, no taxonomic structure for the North American species is proposed here.
