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.) |
