|discussion=<p>Varieties 4 (4 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p><i>Castilleja applegatei</i> is a widespread and often common species, with complex patterns of variation and several common but inconstant color forms, especially in <i></i>var.<i> pinetorum</i>. <i>Castilleja disticha</i> and <i>C. martini</i>, although sometimes included as subspecies within <i>C. applegatei</i>, are treated as species here. Both are more morphologically divergent and more easily distinguished from typical <i>C. applegatei</i> than are the four varieties accepted here. Variety pinetorum is the most widespread form and also occurs over a wider range of elevations than the other three varieties, which are primarily montane to subalpine and occasionally alpine.</p>
