Mimulus nudatus, the bare monkeyflower,[1] is a species of monkeyflower endemic to the serpentine soils of Colusa, Lake and Napa Counties in California.
It is an annual flower with bright yellow tube-shaped blooms and small narrow leaves.
Taxonomy
Mimulus nudatus is a member of the Mimulus guttatus species complex, a group of closely related wildflower species that vary dramatically in mating system, life history and edaphic tolerance.[2] Species in the M. guttatus complex are largely inter-fertile, with some notable exceptions. In particular, M. nudatus is reproductively isolated from other complex members via a postzygotic isolating barrier during seed development.[3]
