Discussion

Variety ringens in Alberta, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington occurs in very scattered, often apparently natural habitats; with more or less certainty, these plants probably are introduced. The basis for all accounts from Colorado apparently is a single specimen collected near Denver in 1895 (Bethel s.n., COLO); there is no indication in recent literature that Mimulus ringens has persisted there. It has been included in the Texas flora based on a listing by S. L. Hatch et al. (1990); the basis for that is obscure, and M. ringens has not been otherwise reported or documented from Texas.
