Discussion
Of conservation concern.
Ivesia longibracteata is known only from the Castle Crags area of Shasta County. The epithet alludes to a diagnostic characteristic unique in the genus: the epicalyx bractlets are longer than the sepals. The plants grow on vertical rock faces, a habitat more characteristic of sect. Setosae; however, the stems are ascending to erect and do not form hanging clumps, and the pedicels are not curved in fruit.
