Park Species Detail: Synonym = Mimetanthe pilosa. Paul Beardsley (Mimulus authority, Herbarium IDS) stated that "I will be writing a paper this summer [2005] that clarifies (hopefully) many of the taxonomic problems in Mimulus. My molecular work clearly shows that Mimetanthe pilosa is within Mimulus and is not a separate group -- so, yes, I think we should start using [the available name] Mimulus pilosus to keep the level of confusion to a minimum" (pers. comm. with Steve Popovich, U of I NPSpecies plant database contractor, 27 Jan 2005). -S.
