|discussion=<p>Mimulus ovatus was treated as a distinct species by N. H. Holmgren (1984); the plants were considered by D. M. Thompson (2005) to be hybrids between M. nanus var. mephiticus and M. cusickii, and he placed the name as a synonym of M. cusickii. Diplacus ovatus is known only from Carson City, Douglas, and southern Washoe counties.</p>
