The plants shown here reflect forms that key to several different subspecies.

Note: The plants at CNM have been listed with a different subspecies or variety than the SMM cousin shown here and may appear slightly different (CNM: Mimulus aurantiacus var. puniceus). In particular, the Cabrillo NM plants are essentially hairless and the flowers tend to be redder than most shown here. An example of the CNM Bush Monkey Flower can be seen in the title banner on the home page.
