Diplacus brandegeei, also known as the Santa Cruz Island monkeyflower, is a species of flowering plant.[1] This rare flower survives on Guadalupe Island in Mexico, but is believed to be extirpated on Santa Cruz Island in the United States, possibly because of livestock grazing.[2] This plant has U.S. federal or California state protected status.[3]
