The area of this plant extends from the north of Taltal to the north of Paposo. Generally accidental, it is distinguished from cinerea by the color of the yellow-orange apical flock and by the color of the thorns, generally amber, although there are populations with white spines and others with black thorns. A mountain form of haseltoniana, east of Paposo, altitudes of 700/900 meters, it is called eremophila. A plant that is not difficult to cultivate, in recent years it has become one of the most widespread on the market.
