Castilleja rhexifolia X miniata
Scrophulariaceae (Snapdragon Family)

The genus name, "Castilleja", honors Domingo Castillejo (1744-1793), Spanish botanist and Professor of Botany in Cadiz, Spain.  In the late 1770s Jose Celestino Mutis (who was born in Cadiz, Spain but spent most of his life in Columbia) named a new Columbian genus, Castilleja.  He sent the new species and name to Linnaeus' son who published the information in Supplementum Plantarum in 1781.

"Rhexifolia" is Greek for "broken foliage" and probably refers to the strongly veined leaves and their resemblance to the veins of the eastern U.S. genus, Rhexia.  "Miniata" is Latin for "colored red".
