Habit | Annuals, shallowly fibrous-rooted. | Annuals, taprooted. |
Stems | ascending, geniculate at nodes, branched at proximal and medial nodes, 4–15 cm, minutely stipitate-glandular, hairs 0.1–0.3 mm, gland-tipped, sometimes minutely hirtellous, hairs sharp-pointed, eglandular. |
erect, simple or branched from basal nodes, 2–14.5 cm, sparsely glandular-pubescent, internodes elongate, distinct. |
Leaves | usually cauline, basal usually deciduous by flowering; petiole 1–3 mm; blade palmately 3-veined, narrowly ovate or narrowly lanceolate to elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, largest 5–15 × 2–6 mm, relatively even-sized, or slightly reduced distally, base attenuate, margins entire, mucronulate, or denticulate, apex acute to obtuse, surfaces minutely stipitate-glandular, hairs 0.1–0.3 mm, gland-tipped, sometimes minutely hirtellous, hairs sharp-pointed, eglandular. |
cauline, basal not persistent; petiole 0 mm; blade 1-veined or palmately 3-veined (in broader ones), linear to lanceolate, 5–15 × 0.5–2 mm, base attenuate, margins entire, apex acute to obtuse, surfaces sparsely glandular-pubescent. |
Flowers | plesiogamous, 10–20, from medial to distal nodes. |
herkogamous, 1–30, from distal or medial to distal nodes. |
Styles | glabrous. |

bicolored (abaxial limb yellow with red spots, adaxial maroon-purple) or yellow, bilaterally symmetric, strongly bilabiate; tube-throat cylindric, (5–)8–15 mm, exserted beyond calyx margin; limb expanded 6–15 mm, lateral lobes 2-fid, palate bearded. |
Fruiting pedicels | straight, 5–11 mm, minutely stipitate-glandular, hairs 0.1–0.3 mm, gland-tipped, sometimes minutely hirtellous, hairs sharp-pointed, eglandular. |
ascending to often spreading horizontally, (5–)9–25 mm. |

Discussion | Erythranthe barbata previously has been placed in synonymy with E. montioides but differs from it in having each corolla lobe deeply notched and a consistently bearded palate. In E. montioides, each corolla lobe is entire or shallowly notched, and the palate is glabrous or sparsely bearded. Erythranthe barbata is most abundant in Tulare County but also occurs in immediately adjacent Inyo and Kern counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
