Babiana stricta, the baboon flower [1] or blue freesia, [2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae, native to Cape Province, South Africa and naturalized in Australia. [ 3 ] Description
Pollination exclusively by monkey beetles has been demonstrated in six species with radial symmetrical flowers. Two species that are pollinated by birds have scarlet flowers with a wide tube, and stiff stamens that extend far from the tube, and is inferred for one more. In three species pollination is accomplished by both bees and monkey beetles.
Erythranthe, the monkey-flowers and musk-flowers, is a diverse plant genus with more than 120 members (as of 2022) in the family Phrymaceae. Erythranthe was originally described as a separate genus, then generally regarded as a section within the genus Mimulus, and recently returned to generic rank.
Babiana rubrocyanea is a perennial geophyte of 5–15 cm (2.0–5.9 in) high, with entire, lance-shaped, hairy, pleated leaves and flowers that have a narrowly funnel-shaped tube at their base and six free tepal lobes at the top that form a wide cup that is purplish blue with a sharply defined carmine red centre.
Mimulus / ˈ m ɪ m juː l ə s /, [1] also known as monkeyflowers, [2] is a plant genus in the family Phrymaceae, which was traditionally placed in family Scrophulariaceae.The genus now contains only seven species, two native to eastern North America and the other five native to Asia, Australia, Africa, or Madagascar.

Monkey flower can refer to: Several genera of plant family Phrymaceae, including: Diplacus; Erythranthe; Mimulus; Various snapdragon-like Lamiales, including:
Erythranthe cardinalis is a perennial herb that grows 1–3 feet (30–91 cm) tall. [7] It is a fairly large, spreading, attractive plant which bears strongly reflexed, nectar-rich red or orange-red flowers and toothed, downy leaves.
Inbreeding reduces flower quantity and size and pollen quality and quantity. E. guttata also displays a high degree of self-pollination . [ 16 ] [ 17 ] Erythranthe nasuta ( Mimulus nasutus ) evolved from E. guttata in central California between 200,000 and 500,000 years ago and since then has become primarily a self-pollinator.
