Remarks
Jarilla caudata is morphologically and phylogenetically closely related to Jarilla heterophylla. Their main distinguishing features are the fruits, which in Jarilla caudata can attain a length of 30 cm, having a smooth surface and 5 long, horn-like appendages (3–6 cm long). Other differences are given in the key. The species occurs in deciduous forests and fields of Baja California and central Mexico from 1500 to 1800 m above sea level.
