|discussion=<p><i>Castilleja brevilobata</i> is endemic to dry serpentine openings in the Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon and adjacent California. Although sometimes treated as part of <i>C. applegatei</i> or <i>C. hispida</i>, its morphology does not suggest a close connection with either. This species occasionally hybridizes with <i>C. pruinosa</i> in Del Norte County, California.</p>
