Erythranthe parishii is a species of monkeyflower known by the common name Parish's monkeyflower. It was formerly known as Mimulus parishii.[1][2][3][4]
It is native to the mountains and hills of the southern half of California , far western Nevada, and northern Baja California, where it grows in wet, sandy habitat such as streambanks.
The flowers primarily self-pollinate, but the species evolved from an out-crossing ancestor similar to E. lewisii.[5] The flower size greatly reduced as the species transitioned to self-pollination through changes in a number of genes that each have a small effect on the size.[5]
Description
Erythranthe parishii is an annual herb growing up to 50 centimeters in maximum height with a stout, hairy stem.[6] The oppositely arranged oval or widely lance-shaped leaves are up to 7.5 centimeters long.
The narrow, tubular base of the flower is encapsulated in a ribbed calyx of sepals with pointed lobes. The five-lobed flower is almost white, often tinged with pink.
