Diplacus parviflorus, also known as the island bush monkeyflower, is a species of flowering plant endemic to California.[3] This monkeyflower is an uncommon plant found only on four of the Channel Islands of California (Anacapa, San Clemente, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa) and in San Diego County.[4][5] This plant sometimes hybridizes with Diplacus longiflorus.[6] This species is attractive to butterflies including the western buckeye, mylitta crescent, and the variable checkerspot.[5] This species was formerly considered part of the Mimulus aurantiacus species complex.[7]
