Erythranthe diffusa, also known as Palomar monkeyflower, is a species of plant native to North America. [1] This plant is endemic to the Californias, and is considered a rare plant due to its limited range. [2] E. diffusa grows up to 8 in (20 cm) in height, and produces purple, pink, and yellow flowers. [3] It prefers to grow in gravelly or sandy soil in chaparral or a low-elevation coniferous habitat. [2] E. diffusa has been observed in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Diego County, Santa Clara County, and Baja California. [2] The Palomar monkeyflower is threatened by recreational activities and real estate development of its preferred wild habitat. [2]
