|discussion=<p><i>Castilleja patriotica</i> is broadly distributed in the northern Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico, south to northern Durango and Sinaloa. It is replaced in central and southern Mexico by a related species, <i>C. pectinata</i> M. Martens & Galeotti. <i>Castilleja patriotica</i> reaches the Chiricahua and Huachuca mountains of southeastern Arizona and the adjacent Animas Mountains of southwestern New Mexico. A report from the Atascosa Mountains of southern Arizona needs verification. The numerous, narrow axillary leaves and the narrow leaf lobes combine to give this plant a curious frilly appearance. The narrow, widely divaricate lateral leaf lobes are unique in the flora area. Short, compact plants with smaller flowers were named C. blumeri. <i>Castilleja patriotica</i> has medicinal value to native peoples of the northern Sierra Madre.</p>
