Discussion

Subspecies yumae is known from southeastern Imperial County, California, Yuma Desert, Arizona, and from El Gran Desierto to Puerto Peñasco in north­western Sonora, and in northeastern Baja California. The subspecies is probably from hybridization between subspp. aurantiaca and peirsonii; it intergrades with subsp. aurantiaca and rarely hybridizes with Chylismia brevipes subsp. arizonica.
