Catilleja - not to be outdone :-)

Thanks for sending out these ID tips, Suzanne!  I was just too lazy to add
details.  To make up for it, I'll toss in that C. integra, latebracteata,
and sessiliflora (assuming no one's changed the names latedly) grow in the
Guadalupe Mountains and the San Dune country, as Barton Warnock called it.

C. citrina, elongata, lanata, latebracteata, and sessiliflora all grow in
the Big Bend country.

And C. ciliata, integra, lanata, sessiliflora, and tortifolia all grow in
the Davis Mountains and the Marathon Basin of Texas.

Like I said, the names may have been changed to protect someone's graduate
thesis.
