|discussion=<p><i>Erythranthe diffusa</i> has been included previously in <i>E. palmeri</i> but can be distinguished morphologically by glabrous margins on the calyx and pubescence on the distal end of the style. It occurs in Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties as well as close to the California border in Baja California.</p>
