Mimulus eastwoodiae (Monkey Flower)
Scrophulariaceae (Snapdragon Family)

Blooming information withheld to protect the plants.

Mimulus eastwoodiae is a Colorado Plateau endemic, growing in special areas that make it too vulnerable to collectors and sight-seers.

New plants are produced from stolons (runners) so that large areas are sometimes covered in M. eastwoodiae plants.  Flowers are about an inch long, scarlet to orange/red, and short lived.

In 1911 Per Axel Rydberg discovered this lovely plant in Utah and in 1913 he named it for schoolteacher and expert botanist, Alice Eastwood.  (More biographical information.)
