Diplacus parviflorus, also known as the island bush monkeyflower, is a species of flowering plant endemic to California. [2] This monkeyflower is an uncommon plant found only on four of the Channel Islands of California (Anacapa, San Clemente, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa) and in San Diego County. [3] [4] This plant sometimes hybridizes with Diplacus longiflorus . [5] This species is attractive to butterflies including the western buckeye, mylitta crescent, and the variable checkerspot.
