M. Decandolle long ago pointed out the error committed 
by English Botanists in referring to this species the now 
common yellow-flowered Mimulus of North America, w ic i 
he distinguished by the name of M. guttatus; but he at the 
same time attributed too much importance to t ie a sence 
of hairs from the palate of FeuilMe s plant, which arose 
only from inaccuracy on the part of his draughtsman 
The Mimulus luteus of Linnaeus was established solely 
upon the figure given by Feuiltee of his Grattda foliis sub¬ 
rotundis nervosis, jloribus luteis, which was seen y eu. ec
