Mimulus suksdorfii Miniature Monkeyflower
EPHEMERAL ANNUAL. Tiny yellow flowers with elongate ribbed red
calyces, dark red stems, and long oval leaves with blunt tips. Flowers
resemble those of M. guttatus but are less than .5 mm across. As
ephemeral as they come - the plants sprout, bloom, go to seed, and disappear
within less than a month. Not yet recorded for southern Arizona,
to my knowledge. In the Empires, found in flat sandy areas on a broad
granite wash.
FAMILY: Phrymaceae (Lopseed Family)
