Habit | Perennials, rhizomatous, sometimes rooting at proximal nodes. | Annuals, fibrous-rooted. |
Stems | erect, sometimes decumbent basally, branched, often fistulose, (25–)50–120(–160) cm, densely hirsutulous to softly hirtellous-puberulent to pilose-hirsutulous, hairs usually crinkly, and eglandular or with a mixture of hirtellous-puberulent and stipitate-glandular hairs, sometimes ± stipitate-glandular or glandular-villous without hirtellous-puberulent hairs. |
erect or slightly ascending from base, sometimes purplish, simple or few-branched from proximal nodes, 3–38 cm, glabrous. |
Leaves | basal and cauline, basal usually not persistent, bracteate in inflorescence; petiole 10–80 mm, gradually reduced distally; blade subpinnately, sometimes palmately, 5–7-veined, ovate to broadly elliptic, 25–60 × 20–40(–60) mm, usually 1–2 times longer than wide, base truncate or truncate-cuneate to subcordate, margins crenulate to dentate, proximally sometimes sublyrate, apex rounded to obtuse, surfaces of distals densely hirsutulous to softly hirtellous-puberulent to pilose-hirsutulous, hairs usually crinkly, and eglandular or with a mixture of hirtellous-puberulent and stipitate-glandular hairs, sometimes ± stipitate-glandular or glandular-villous without hirtellous-puberulent hairs. |
basal and cauline; petiole (proximal and proximal to mid cauline), distal bracteate or absent, ovate, margins entire; blade: divisions 1-veined, oblong-lanceolate to ovate in outline, 3–68 mm, slightly thickened, base (at proximalmost division) truncate, margins (of divisions) entire, bipinnately dissected, ca. 5–12(–15) primary divisions on each side, ultimate division nearly linear, apex obtuse to acute, surfaces glabrous. |
Flowers | herkogamous, 8–26, mostly from distal nodes, usually in bracteate racemes. |
plesiogamous, 4–10(–12), on foreshortened distal nodes, usually clustered, chasmogamous, sometimes cleistogamous. |
Styles | hirtellous. |
glabrous. |
Corollas | yellow, red-dotted within, bilaterally symmetric, bilabiate; tube-throat broadly funnelform, (14–)16–24 mm, exserted (8–)10–15 mm beyond calyx margin; limb broadly expanded. |
yellow, proximal lip sometimes red-splotched, palate ridges yellow, bilaterally symmetric, bilabiate; tube-throat cylindric-funnelform, 4–8 mm, exserted 0–2 mm beyond calyx margin or not; palate ridges densely villous. |
Fruiting pedicels | 10–35 mm, densely hirsutulous to softly hirtellous-puberulent to pilose-hirsutulous, hairs usually crinkly, and eglandular or with a mixture of hirtellous-puberulent and stipitate-glandular hairs, sometimes ± stipitate-glandular or glandular-villous without hirtellous-puberulent hairs. |
6–14 mm, glabrous. |
Fruiting calyces | straight-erect or nodding 45–100º, ovate-campanulate, inflated, sagittally compressed, 15–22(–25) mm, densely hirsutulous to softly hirtellous-puberulent to pilose-hirsutulous, hairs usually crinkly, and eglandular or with a mixture of hirtellous-puberulent and stipitate-glandular hairs, sometimes ± stipitate-glandular or glandular-villous without hirtellous-puberulent hairs, throat closing. |

Erythranthe grandis |
Erythranthe filicifolia |
|
Phenology | Flowering (Apr–)May–Jul(–Sep). | Flowering Apr–Jun(–Sep). |
Habitat | Beaches, dunes, coastal bluffs, wet cliff faces, mud flats and seeps, marshes, drainage ditches, creeks, rarely in coastal sage scrub. | Slow-draining, ephemeral seeps on exfoliating granite slabs, over basalt. |
Elevation | 0–200(–800) m. (0–700(–2600) ft.) | 300–1600 m. (1000–5200 ft.) |

Discussion | The densely, evenly puberulent vestiture of pedicels, calyces, and distal stems usually is diagnostic, especially in combination with the large flowers (corollas and mature calyces) and tall stature. Plants from scattered collections are much shorter than normal but have large corollas and characteristic vestiture. Erythranthe grandis characteristically occurs in coastal localities from southern California to northern Oregon but also is found in inland localities and habitats near the coast but well away from salt spray.

Erythranthe filicifolia is known only from localities in Butte and Plumas counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
