Mimulus luteus, Linn. Monkey-flower. Fig. 2376. Glabrous, the larger forms 2-4 ft. high: lvs.parallel- veined, ovate to roundish to subcordate, sharply toothed, upper ones smaller, the lower sometimes laciniate: fls. deep yellow and commonly with dark spots within, the corolla 1-2 in. long; calyx Hin. or less long, somewhat ventricose. Alaska to Chile. B.M. 1501.—Monkey-flowers nearly always have yellow throats with brown dots. The lobes are sometimes clear yellow. In var. rivularis, Lindl., only 1 lobe has a large brown patch. B.R. 1030. L.B.C. 16:1575. In var. Youngeana, Hook., every lobe has such a patch. B.M. 3363. B.R. 1674 (as M.Smithii). In the common strains these patches are more or less broken up and the fls. mottled and dotted. F. 1863:73 (as M. moculosus). V. 10:289 (as M. hybridus). A very distinct set of colors is represented by var. variegatus, Hook., the throat chiefly white, but with 2 yellow longitudinal lines dotted with brown on the middle lobe of the lower lip; all the lobes bright crimson-purple, with a violet reverse. B.R. 1796. B.M. 3336. L.B.C. 19:1872. G. 29:335. Modified as described under var. Youngeana. R.H. 1851:261. F. 1850:137. The pictures cited above bear various legends. The varietal names given above do not appear in the trade, the leading current names being duplex (hose-in-hose), gloriosus, hybridus, hybridus tigrinus, hybridus tigrinus grandi- florus, quinquevulnerus maximus, pardinus, tigridioides and tigrinus. Some of these names are advertised as varieties, but all of them frequently appear as if they were species. For M. hybridus cupreus, Hort., see M. cupreus, No. 4. M. Burnetii, Hort., is a garden hybrid between M. luteus and M. cupreus. G.C. III. 30:107. Var.alpinus, Gray (M. Roezlii, Hort.). About 2-12 in. high, leafy to top: st. 1-4-fld.: corolla ¾ -1 ¼ in. long. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
