Island Bush Monkeyflower

Diplacus parviflorus, also known as the island bush monkeyflower, is a species of flowering plant endemic to California. This monkeyflower is an uncommon plant found only on four of the Channel Islands of California (Anacapa, San Clemente, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa) and in San Diego County. This plant sometimes hybridizes with Diplacus longiflorus. This species is attractive to butterflies including the western buckeye, mylitta crescent, and the variable checkerspot. This species was formerly considered part of the Mimulus aurantiacus species complex.
