Castilleja miniata Dougl. ex Hook. var. fulva (Pennell) J.M. Egger
Annotated by B.A. Bennett, July 2016. Remarks: Egger, Mark, July 2016

Yukon Territory: Alaska Highway, just west of city limits, south side of road before Echo Road. Elev. 718 m
60.81453°, -135.27991°
Highway roadside, densely vegetated with Chamerion angustifolium, Hedysarum boreale, and other herbaceous species. EOID1818. I walked the stretch of highway from Echo Lake Rd. to the "welcome to Whitehorse" sign, and I think we can call all patches of the Castilleja the same population. Earlier in the season there appeared to be 3 distinct populations (albeit in close proximity of each other), but now the patches seem to have grown and become one. There are still a couple of small patches that are approximately 75 and 100 metres from the greater patches, but I'm going to call them the same population. So, it is quite possible that they may have come from the greenhouse across the highway within the past year or two and have spread quickly. I live in Mendenhall and have been driving to town almost every day over the past 3 years, and I have never noticed this plant before (although there was some brush cutting here a year or two ago). I also searched the highway from the Old Alaska Hwy, to Crestview, but it is only found along this one stretch. I took a start waypoint and end waypoint for the extent of the population (which I estimate to be 300 + individuals). Start - 60.81453; 135.27916 End - 60.81477; 135.28256. Rare. Flowering.
