Discussion

The occurrence of Erythranthe jungermannioides in the Columbia River Gorge of Klickitat County, Washington (the only record from the state of Washington), is based on an imprecise, unconfirmed observation from the early 1990s (Washington National Heritage Program 2005).

The range of Erythranthe eastwoodiae appears to be essentially contiguous with that of E. verbenacea in the Grand Canyon region, but there is no evidence of hybridization.

Erythranthe eastwoodiae (as Mimulus eastwoodiae) is in the Center for Plant Conservation’s National Collection of Endangered Plants.
