All of our other plant authorities place this in Mimulus, so I think we should change this back:

I know Mimulus taxonomy is a giant controversial mess, and NZ Plants may just be ahead of the curve on this one. I don't know if the lack of adoption of that paper's findings among American taxonomic entities with more dynamic update policies (e.g. Jepson and ITIS) is just the result of lag or some level of editorial decision. Going strictly by our own triage policies within iNat, though, this should go back to Mimulus.
