- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Erythranthe floribunda [Mimulus floribunda] has been recorded only three times in the Watershed: in a slough of the Rio Grande east of Monte Vista (1934), on the upper Rio Grande west of the Rio Grande Reservoir (1970), and by Deadman Creek, just north of the Great Sand Dunes NPP (2024). BONAP shows Mineral Co, with no vouchers in SEINet and with no assurance the specimens were found in the Watershed. The flower is found in all states west of the Great Plains, including the Front Range of Colorado. It has been recorded from Rio Arriba Co in New Mexico but not farther south in the Rio Grande drainage. Note that the former genus Mimulus has been revised to put all Watershed flowers previously treated as Mimulus into the genus Erythranthe (Barker et al. 2012), a revision accepted by FNA but not BONAP.
