Castilleja puberula, commonly alpine paintbrush or short-flowered paintbrush, is a plant species in the broomrape family that grows exclusively in high elevation habitats. Before 2014 it was thought to only grow in Colorado in mountains near the Great Divide, but an additional population was located on a mountain in southwest Montana.
