--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Annuals,</b> fibrous-rooted, rooting at proximal nodes, sometimes forming matlike colonies. <b>Stems</b> decumbent to decumbent-ascending basally, becoming fully erect at least in inflorescence, simple, sometimes few-branched from proximal nodes, usually distinctly fistulose, 10–30 cm, glabrous. <b>Leaves</b> basal and cauline, basal sometimes deciduous by flowering; petiole: basal and proximals to mid cauline 10–70 mm, distals 0 mm; blade palmately veined, ovate to broadly ovate or elliptic-ovate, becoming subreniform distally, (5–)15–35(–60) mm, distal closely paired, auriculate-subclasping, base truncate to subcordate, margins dentate-serrate to shallowly dentate, teeth 5–11 per side, apex obtuse to rounded, surfaces glabrous. <b>Flowers</b> plesiogamous, (6–)8–18(–24), often produced from all nodes, loosely to densely racemose, chasmogamous. <b>Fruiting</b> pedicels 9–20 mm, glabrous, rarely sparsely stipitate-glandular. <b>Fruiting</b> calyces purple-spotted, sometimes greenish, broadly cylindric-campanulate, inflated, sagittally compressed, 7–11 mm, glabrous, rarely minutely scabrous-hirtellous or sparsely stipitate-glandular, throat not closing, abaxial lobe slightly upcurving 10–45º, spreading 45º, or sometimes deflexed 40º. <b>Corollas</b> yellow, red-spotted, bilaterally symmetric, bilabiate; tube-throat cylindric, 7–11 mm, exserted (1–)2–3(–4) mm beyond calyx margin; limb slightly expanded. <b>Styles</b> glabrous. <b>Anthers</b> included, glabrous. <b>Capsules</b> included, 4.5–6 mm. <b>2n</b> = 60.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Erythranthe inamoena</i> is distinctive in its completely glabrous herbage, small corollas, flowers in racemes mostly at distal nodes and with reduced bracts, short and open-throated fruiting calyces, erect and fistulose stems, and apparent annual duration (fibrous-rooted but usually rooting at proximal cauline nodes).</p><!--
--><p>Presumably because of its autogamous reproduction, <i>Erythranthe inamoena</i> has been confused with <i>E. cordata</i>, especially in the trans-Pecos region of Texas, where the two are sympatric. In contrast to <i>E. cordata</i>, <i>E. inamoena</i> usually has glabrous pedicels and calyces, flowers often produced from all nodes, smaller calyces [(7–)8–11 mm] that do not close at maturity, and corollas with a shorter tube-throat (7–11 mm).</p><!--
--><p>Some populations in Brewster, Presidio, and Val Verde counties are identified here as <i>Erythranthe inamoena</i> (based on proximal-to-distal distribution of flowers and the short mature calyces with open throat) but have sparsely stipitate-glandular pedicels and calyces.</p>
