Schizanthus carlomunozii, is a species of plant in the genus Schizanthus in the Solanaceae, native to Chile. Like all other species in this genus, it carries its strongly mirror-symmetrical flowers in a panicle at the top of the stems, the calyx has a very short tube and the 5 linear to lance-shaped segments that are slightly unequal, the corolla shaped like a butterfly with an upper and lower lip, and 2 fertile anthers and 3 staminodes. It can be distinguished by its large flowers that have spots bordering the cleft between the central and side lobes of the upper lip.
Both varieties are endemic to Chile at 20–350 m (66–1,100 ft) above sea level. Schizanthus carlomunozii var. carlomunozii can be found along the coast of the provinces of Elqui and Limarí between 29°35' and 31°10' southern latitude. Schizanthus carlomunozii var. dilutimaculatus occurs from the province of Elqui to the province of Petorca, between 29°25' and 32°20' southern latitude.
