Description
Erythranthe tilingii is a rhizomatous perennial herb growing 2 to 35 centimeters tall. The oppositely arranged oval leaves may be several centimeters long and some are borne on short petioles. The yellow flower may be over 4 centimeters long, its narrow tubular throat opening into a wide, two-lipped mouth. The base of the flower tube is encapsulated in a calyx of sepals with uneven lobes.
Erythranthe tilingii is often nearly impossible to distinguish from its common relative, Mimulus guttatus, as their characteristics can intergrade; one of the most notable differences is the arrangement of the flowers, which are axial in M. tilingii but in a raceme in M. guttatus.[http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?7177,7386,7448 Jepson Manual treatment for Mimulus tilingii][http://www.swcoloradowildflowers.com/Yellow%20Enlarged%20Photo%20Pages/mimulus.htm Southwest Colorado Wildflowers][http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_key.pl?Mimulus Jepson Manual dichotomous key for Mimulus] By 2014 three species that were formerly part of E. tilingii had been made their own separate species: Erythranthe caespitosa, Erythranthe corallina, Erythranthe minor.{{cite journal | last1 = Nesom| first1 = G.
