Comments: In the Watershed Tiling's monkeyflower has not often been collected. It is found close by streams, subalpine wet meadows, rills and seeps in the tundra—in southern mountain regions east and west; e.g., near Elwood and Wolf Creek passes, near Lost Lake in Costilla Co, near the high lakes in west Conejos Co. There is one collection from one half a mile east of Music pass in the North Cristos (2010). A recent observation is from 11,300' elevation near Dolores Canyon west of Stunner cpgd (Conejos Co, 6 Sept 2020; iNaturalist #58787373). So far no records are from the North Cristos of the Watershed. Note that all Colorado records of "Erythranthe tilingii" or "Mimulus tilingii" are of Erythranthe minor. This is recognized by SEINet. Allred et al. (2020) say that all the specimens of "Mimulus tilingii" they examined from New Mexico were Erythranthe [Mimulus] minor. Current opinion (e.g. FNA and John Kartesz of BONAP) place Erythranthe tilingii in the West US coastal states. Also note that the former genus Mimulus has been revised to assign all Watershed flowers previously treated as Mimulus into the genus Erythranthe (Barker et al. 2012).
