Erythranthe nasuta is a species of monkeyflower. It was formerly known as Mimulus nasutus.
Erythranthe guttata is pollinated by bees, such as Bombus impatiens. Inbreeding reduces flower quantity and size and pollen quality and quantity. E. guttata also displays a high degree of self-pollination.E. nasuta evolved from E. guttata in central California between 200,000 and 500,000 years ago and since then has become primarily a self-pollinator. Other differences have occurred since then, such as genetic code variations and variations in plant morphology.E. guttata prefers a wetter habitat than E. nasuta.
