This the the holotype sheet and only known collection of this apparently very rare endemic of the El Cielo region. After much study, I'm fairly confident the type locality is within 1 km of the spot indicated. This species is likely only findable after some good periods of rain. The plants are thin and not brightly colored and are among the most divergent of Castilleja species in morphology. This species has a very close relative in the Sierra Madre Occidental, C. chlorosceptron, and there are a few posts of that species on iNat/Naturalista, so you can get a "search image" for what they look like. Any botanists in the El Cielo area should watch for this species, as we presently know almost nothing about it, and it has never been photographed in life. Good luck, and please tag me if you find it!!

This is a well established population of Erythronium montanum. This photo was taken just above the trailhead of the bike trail, With a Twist. A few scattered individual plants are forming seed within a 5-10 minute walk before one reaches this location. There were only a handful of plants in flower, all seen at this location. Elevation is about 1500 metres.
We experienced an unusually deep snow pack this year, with snow still falling in the mountains in June.

I only managed to see one briefly in flight in a couple of days on the island, but lucked upon this one roosting in a very conspicuous location in the early morning.
