Its main stem has four rounded, almost square, angles, which give it part of its common name 'square-stemmed'. The other part of the common name 'monkeyflower' it given because the flower is thought to resemble a monkey's face.
It closely resembles Winged Monkeyflower (Mimulus alatus), but that species has nearly sessile flowers with pedicels only 2–15 mm long.
