Habit | Perennials, rhizomatous, rooting at proximal nodes. | Annuals, slender-taprooted or fibrous-rooted, rarely with runners from basal nodes. |
Stems | erect, sometimes ascending to decumbent, simple or branched, (2–)5–20 cm, nodes 2–4(or 5), glabrate to glandular-villous, hairs 0.5–2 mm, gland-tipped, internodes evident. |
erect, simple or branched, terete, sometimes 4-angled distally, (5–)30–60(–80) cm, glabrous, glaucous. |
Leaves | usually cauline, basal not persistent, distinctly separated; petiole 0 mm or (0.5–)1–5(–10) mm; blade pinnately veined, oblong-ovate to ovate, (10–)15–40(–50) × 5–25 mm, base obtuse-cuneate to truncate, rounded or subcordate, subclasping to sessile, margins coarsely serrate-dentate to denticulate or subentire, apex acute to obtuse, surfaces glabrate to glandular-villous. |
basal and cauline; petiole: basal and proximal cauline as long as or much longer than blade, slender, sometimes pubescent or villous, distals absent; blade palmately 3–5-veined, (proximal) ovate to ovate-elliptic or orbicular-ovate, sometimes subcordate, 10–50 mm, midcauline to distal orbicular, 5–45 mm wide, distinctly connate-perfoliate, disclike distally, base rounded to subcordate, margins: proximals denticulate to dentate or coarsely, irregularly toothed, sometimes lobed at base, distals nearly entire or toothed, teeth scattered, small, apex rounded, surfaces glabrous, glaucous. |
Flowers | herkogamous, 1–8, from medial to distal nodes. |
herkogamous, 1–16, from distal nodes, sometimes from nearly all, chasmogamous. |
Styles | glabrous. |
minutely hirtellous-puberulent. |
Corollas | yellow, throat with fine red to blackish or brown lines extending onto lobes, red to brown dots in throat and lobes present or absent, bilaterally or nearly radially symmetric, bilabiate or nearly regular; tube-throat narrowly funnelform, 11–18 mm, exserted beyond calyx margin; lobes oblong-obovate, apex rounded to notched. |
yellow, sometimes with a median splotch, abaxial limb densely dark yellow, others much lighter, throat floor and tube red-dotted, bilaterally symmetric, bilabiate; tube-throat funnelform, 12–23 mm, exserted 4–8 mm beyond calyx margin; limb expanded 14–36 mm. |
Fruiting pedicels | (7–)10–25 mm, glabrate to glandular-villous. |
10–50 mm, glabrous, glaucous. |
Fruiting calyces | ridge- to wing-angled, campanulate to cylindric-campanulate, weakly or not inflated, 6–13 mm, villous to glandular-villous, lobes erect to spreading-recurving, strongly unequal to subequal, triangular to linear-lanceolate or narrowly triangular-acuminate, 2–4 mm, apex acute to obtuse. |

Discussion | Earlier segregation of Erythranthe moniliformis as distinct from E. moschata (for example, G. L. Nesom 2012g) emphasized a primarily erect habit and tendency toward sessile to subsessile and more densely arranged cauline leaves in E. moniliformis versus a decumbent to procumbent habit and consistently petiolate leaves on longer internodes in E. moschata. Discontinuities in morphology, geography, and ecology were not confirmed in later study by Nesom (2017). Rhizomes with small, tuberlike swellings can be observed over the whole moschata/moniliformis range, and there apparently are no consistent distinctions in vestiture and corolla size. Mimulus acutidens Reiche (1911), a later homonym of M. acutidens Greene, pertains here. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Plants from one locality in Butte County are unusual in producing filiform, small-leaved runners from basal cauline nodes. Erythranthe glaucescens is known only from Butte and Tehama counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
