Erythranthe minor
Erythranthe minor, the Colorado monkeyflower, is a species in the lopseed family from the southern Rocky Mountains in the western United States.
According to the Flora of North America (FNA) Colorado monkeyflowers are native to primarily Colorado with some in the mountains of New Mexico as far south as Wheeler Peak in Taos County. According to Plants of the World Online, the species is also native to Utah and Arizona, but the authors of the FNA report the plants in Utah's La Sal Mountains are misidentified Erythranthe guttata. The species grows at elevations of 3,000 to 3,700 meters (9,800–12,100 ft).
