Castilleja
lineata (Lineated Paintbrush) Montane. Woodlands, meadows. Summer. This is a rare Paintbrush in
Colorado, but it is fairly abundant in New Mexico, occurs in Arizona, and is
not found in Utah. The plant often has multiple stems, but it is
still difficult to find because its color blends in with grasses.
The dried flower stems from last year help to locate the
plant. Edward Greene named Castilleja
lineata, the "lineata" referring to parallel veins in the leaves. |
