--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Annuals,</b> fibrous-rooted, sometimes producing leafy runners from basal nodes, stems often rooting at proximal nodes and appearing rhizomelike. <b>Stems</b> usually erect, usually simple, usually fistulose, 12–40(–100) cm, sparsely stipitate-glandular, hairs fine, gland-tipped. <b>Leaves</b> basal and cauline, basal persistent; petiole: basal and proximals 6–20(–40) mm, midcauline to distals 0 mm; blade not connate, palmately 3–5(–7)-veined, orbicular to broadly elliptic-ovate or oblong-elliptic, cauline becoming broadly ovate to narrowly reniform, basal and mid cauline 15–30(–50) mm, gradually reduced in size distally to 6 mm, basal largest, distal closely paired, auriculate-subclasping, base cuneate to truncate or shallowly cordate, margins shallowly, evenly to unevenly dentate, apex obtuse to rounded, surfaces glabrous. <b>Flowers</b> plesiogamous, (5–)10–16, at distal nodes, in bracteate racemes, chasmogamous or cleistogamous. <b>Fruiting</b> pedicels 10–30(–45) mm, longer than subtending leaves, minutely stipitate-glandular. <b>Fruiting</b> calyces nodding 45–90º, not red-dotted, broadly elliptic-ovoid, inflated, sagittally compressed, (8–)14–18(–20) mm, glabrous or sparsely stipitate-glandular to hirsutulous, sometimes mixed glandular-hirsutulous, throat closing, adaxial lobe not distinctly longer than abaxial, not falcate. <b>Corollas</b> yellow, red-spotted, abaxial limb deeper yellow, weakly bilaterally or radially symmetric, weakly bilabiate or regular; tube-throat sometimes tubular and not opening (cleistogamous), 8–14 mm, exserted 1–3 mm beyond calyx margin; limb not expanded or expanded 9–14 mm. <b>Styles</b> glabrous. <b>Anthers</b> included, glabrous. <b>Capsules</b> included, stipitate, 5–7 mm. <b>2n</b> = 60.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Erythranthe cordata</i> is characterized by its fibrous-rooted habit (annual in duration, without rhizomes but commonly rooting at the proximal nodes), short corollas and autogamous reproduction (anthers and stigma at the same level), closed calyces, sparsely villous-glandular vestiture (lacking hirtellous, eglandular hairs), and stems commonly fistulose in larger plants. The short corollas and other features of autogamous reproduction of <i>E. cordata</i> are diagnostic and prominent. Plants of <i>E. cordata</i> are highly variable in size, from tiny fibrous-rooted plants with nearly filiform stems to much larger individuals with fistulose stems rooting at proximal nodes.</p><!--
--><p><i>Erythranthe cordata</i> and <i>E. nasuta</i> are sympatric in Arizona, southeastern New Mexico, and southern Utah, and small plants of each species may be similar in aspect, both with cleistogamous flowers and reduced vestiture. <i>Erythranthe nasuta</i> can be recognized by its distal and bracteal leaves with hirtellous to hirsutulous adaxial surfaces; a 10/x lens usually is required to see this feature, and it sometimes is most obvious around the leaf margins.</p><!--
--><p>The common name of <i>Erythranthe cordata</i> alludes to a fancied resemblance of the corollas to the horn of a diminutive trumpet.</p>
