It is native to the mountains and foothills of California and Oregon, where it is often found on serpentine soils.〔David M. Thompson 2014. Mimulus douglasii, in Jepson Flora Project (eds.) Jepson eFlora, http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_IJM.pl?tid=33591, accessed on June 08, 2015.〕 ''M. douglasii'' was first described in a published flora by George Bentham,〔 an English botanist who was considered "the premier systematic botanist of the nineteenth century,.〔Isley, Duane. (1994) One hundred and one botanists. Ames, IA: Iowa State University Press.〕" It was later described by Asa Gray, the father of North American botany. ==Description== This description comes from the 2nd edition Jepson Manual: Vascular Plants of California.〔Baldwin, B.G. and Goldman, D.H. (2012). The Jepson Manual: Vascular Plants of California, 2nd Edition. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press〕 ''Mimulus douglasii'' is a diminutive annual herb that produces a magenta flower. The overall stature of the plant is very small, varying in height from 0.3 – 4 centimeters tall. Like other monkeyflowers, the flowers are bisexual and bilaterally symmetrical, with fused petals that form a tube-throat.〔David M. Thompson 2014. Mimulus, in Jepson Flora Project (eds.) Jepson eFlora, http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_IJM.pl?tid=11384, accessed on June 08, 2015.〕 The throat has gold and purple stripes, which form bold mottling. The tube and upper lips are magenta, and the lower lobes are so reduced that they appear absent. The flowers can be open or cleistogamous, staying closed and self-pollinating. The flower is persistent and sits atop a 2 – 4 millimeter pedicel. The calyx is generally green, hairy, and ranges in size from 8 – 14 millimeters, with unequal lobes.〔 The leaves are ovate to obovate blades, which range in size from 5 – 28 millimeters. The upper side of the leaves are a shiny green and are generally hairy. The seeds are hard, asymmetrically-ovid, and range in size from 2.5 – 6.5 millimeters.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mimulus douglasii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
