Taxonomic Comments
The Flora of North America (vol. 17 2019) elevates Mimulus primuloides var. linearifolius (= Erythranthe linearifolia) to full species level and transfers to Genus Erythranthe, therefore M. primuloides var. primuloides s.s. is equivalent to Mimulus primuloides (= Erythranthe primuloides).
