'''''Mimulus''''' ({{pron-en|ˈmɪmjuːləs}})<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> is a diverse [[plant]] [[genus]], the '''monkey-flowers''' and '''musk-flowers'''. The about 150 [[species]] are currently placed in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Phrymaceae]]. The genus has traditionally been placed in [[Scrophulariaceae]]. The removal of ''Mimulus'' from that family has been supported by studies of [[chloroplast]] [[DNA]] first published in the mid-1990s{{Fact|date=October 2007}}. Multiple studies of chloroplast DNA and two regions of nuclear [[rDNA]]<ref>Beardsley, P. M. & Olmstead, R. G. 2002. Redefining Phrymaceae: the placement of ''Mimulus'', tribe Mimuleae, and ''Phryma''. ''American Journal of Botany'' 89: 1093-1102 (available online [http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/content/full/89/7/1093 here])</ref> suggest that the genera ''[[Phryma]], [[Berendtiella]], [[Hemichaena]], [[Leucocarpus]], [[Microcarpeae]], [[Peplidium]], [[Glossostigma]], and [[Elacholoma]]'' are all derived from within ''Mimulus'' and would need to be rearranged.{{wp}}
It is recognized that there are two large groups of ''Mimulus'' species, with the largest group of species in western [[North America]], and a second group with center of diversity in [[Australia]]. A few species also extend into eastern North America, eastern [[Asia]] and southern [[Africa]]. This enlarged group is a part of the newly redefined [[Phrymaceae]].{{wp}}
