Epilobium minutum is a species of flowering plant, known by the common names little willowherb, chaparral willowherb and desert willowherb, in the family Onagraceae. It is also called "smallflower willowherb" in reference to its relatively small size. However that name, in particular the British English variant "small-flowered willowherb", typically refers to Epilobium parviflorum.
