herkogamous, (2–)4–8, usually in proximal or medial to distal axils, chasmogamous. |
Styles | scabrous. |
glabrous. |
Corollas | yellow, with scattered red spots, palate ridges with 2 white patches at tips, bilaterally symmetric, strongly bilabiate; tube-throat funnelform, (12–)16–20(–24) mm, exserted beyond calyx margin; limb expanded 8–10 mm, lobes obovate-oblong, apex rounded to truncate. |
yellow, without a large red splotch, throat floor and tube red-spotted, bilaterally symmetric, bilabiate; tube-throat cylindric-funnelform, 8–12 mm, exserted 2–4 mm beyond calyx margin; limb expanded 8–12 mm. |

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). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Erythranthe nudata is distinct in its annual duration, few, inconspicuous, and narrow leaves, long and spreading-divaricate pedicels, and large corollas. The plants apparently are restricted to serpentine substrate and known only from Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, and Sonoma counties.
