Castilleja linariifolia x Castilleja miniata var. miniata, apparent F1 hybrid plant, adjacent to NM Hwy. 63 near its junction with the road to the Winsor Creek Trailhead, a short way S of Cowles, Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe Co., NM, 3 Aug 2001. With Rubus sp.

Both putative parent species grew in the vicinity. This plant had the calyx pubescence and general aspect of C. linariifolia, but the calyces were cleft subequally above and below, as in C. miniata and very much unlike the very shallow upper cleft of typical C. linariifolia. This trait can be seen clearly in this photo.

The C. miniata populations in this region were previously known as "Castilleja inconstans Standl.", the Type locality of which is along nearby Winsor Creek. However, the characters of this form are, as the name implies, inconstant and fall well within the variation of C. miniata in general.
