Description:

Mimulus aurantiacus—sticky monkeyflower. The species is soon to officially change its name to Diplacus aurantiacus, the name that many plant lovers already use, as did the original Jepson Manual published in 1925 . Sticky, or bush, monkeyflower is the monkeyflower most likely to be encountered in the parklands of the San Francisco Bay Area.
