Erythranthe arenaria, formerly Mimulus arenarius, also known as sand-loving monkeyflower, is a species of flowering plant.[1] This plant is native to eastern California in the United States, where it is found in the central and southern Sierra Nevada mountains.[2] Sand-loving monkeyflower is usually found in "sandy flats, sand bars, washes, seasonal creek beds" in the foothills and the High Sierra.[3]
The type specimen was collected from near Huntington Lake in Fresno County, in 1917.[4] This plant was moved from the genus Mimulus to the genus Erythranthe in 2012.[4]
