C. hispida is another Paintbrush native to Oregon. It’s hairy, as its name suggests!

The genus is named for 18th C. Spanish botanist, Domingo Castillejo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domingo_Castillejo).

How exactly is Castilleja pronounced? I heard a botanist on an OPB show pronounce it as: cas-till-AY-zha

I had been pronouncing it Spanish style: cas-tee-YAY-ha

And I’ve also heard: cas-till-AY-ha

Anyone know what is correct?
