Hi, Tabish ji,

Image of Mimulus lewisii in FOI by Thingnam ji look different from Mimulus lewisii, in particular the leaves, as per

Pl. correct.

Thank you Garg ji,

   You are right, it is not Mimulus lewisii. There are differences. However it doesn't look like Erythranthe guttata at all. From what I can gather, Erythranthe guttata always has yellow flowers. I think this plant must be a garden cultivar. There are many of them in the market, like Mimulus magic.
