The nearest known relative of Nevada willowherb is Snow Mountain willowherb (Epilobium nivium), which has a similar appearance and grows in similar habitats. These two species together form Epilobium sect. Cordylophorurn subsect. Petrolobium and have been shown to form infertile hybrids in cultivation.^[6][7]
