Diagnostic characteristics
This species closely resembles Camissonia boothii var. villosa, which also has glandular hairs on the leaves and sessile flowers and fruits. Camissonia gouldii can be positively identified by having smaller petals that measure 1.5-3mm long while Camissonia boothii var. villosa has petals that are 4.5-7.3 mm long.

Washington County, Utah and Coconino County, Arizona.
Threats or limiting factors
Threats are unknown. Threats could perhaps include disturbance due to tourists exploring cinder cones, but the steep nature of the habitat likely restricts these activities and may be insignificant.
