Discussion

The occurrence of Erythranthe jungermannioides in the Columbia River Gorge of Klickitat County, Washington (the only record from the state of Washington), is based on an imprecise, unconfirmed observation from the early 1990s (Washington National Heritage Program 2005).

Erythranthe parishii occurs in the southern Sierra Nevada (Kern and Tulare counties), mountain ranges of southern California (five counties), desert mountains (Inyo County), and in Clark and southern Nye counties, Nevada. It is the only annual species of sect. Erythranthe.
