Castilleja purpurea, known as downy Indian paintbrush, is a wildflower native to Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri.

The flowers of various subspecies display a wide variety of forms and colors.

Blooms may be white, pale yellow, peach, or tinged with pink and the foliage may be green or purple.

[1][2] The subspecies of C. purpurea are argued to be their own species in the genus Castilleja.
