Discussion

Orthocarpus bracteosus is endangered in British Columbia and Washington. It resembles O. purpureoalbus; the midlobe of the bracts is 3–4 (versus 1–2) mm wide. Also, the leaves of O. purpureoalbus tend to be dark green; those of O. bracteosus are usually lighter green or yellow-green.

None.
