The Death Valley monkeyflower (Mimulus rupicola), is a flowering plant in the family Phrymaceae, endemic to the Mojave Desert within Inyo County, California.[1] It is a perennial herbaceous plant, growing 1-17 cm tall, with oblanceolate leaves 2-6 cm long. It has pinkish flowers, often faint in color, and has a magenta-purple spot on each lobe.
Although quite rare, it can be found in shaded limestone crevices on steep canyon walls in the mountains bordering Death Valley.
