Zzyzx Road, Mohave National Preserve, San Bernadino County, California, USA20 February 2016Wildflower Synonyms:Eunanus bigelovii A.GrayMimulus bigelovii (A.Gray) A.GrayMimulus spissus A.L.GrantComment:This bright magenta, desert-dwelling Bigelow's Monkeyflower, native to the US West, has a speckled, vivid yellow throat which presents a much more subdued appearance in UV where the throat becomes UV-black and the petals moderately UV-absorbing. However, against the UV-bright desert floor, the cluster of UV-dark Monkeyflowers stands out. Reference:1. David M. Thompson (2016) Mimulus bigelovii, in Jepson Flora Project (eds.)
