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 washingtonensis is considered to be extirpated in Washington by the Washington Natural Heritage Program.
