MIMULUS

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 500 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MIMULUS , in botany, a genus (nat. order Scrophulariaceae), of showy,
hardy
  or half-
hardy
 , herbaceous, rarely shrubby
plants
 , natives of the extra-tropical or mountainous parts of both old and new worlds excepting Europe, but chiefly American. The
plants
  have opposite, undivided leaves, and axillary, generally solitary
flowers
  with a two-lipped, gaping corolla. The herbaceous species thrive best in
damp
  situations; the shrubby species, of which M. glutinosus (formerly called Diplacus) is best known, are adapted for pot culture in the greenhouse. M. luteus, the
monkey
 -flower of gardens, has yellow
flowers
  with two dark marks in the mouth of the corolla; M. Langsdorfii, an American species, has become naturalized by river-sides in many parts of Britain.
M. moschatus, musk, a native of north-western America, with small, nearly
regular
 , yellow flowers, diffuse hairy
stem
  and hairy scented leaves, is a well known and favourite perennial for pot culture and outside borders.
