Collomia

Collomia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Polemoniaceae. Species in the genus are known generally as trumpets, mountain trumpets,[2] or trumpet flowers.[3] They are native to North America and southern South America.[3] The genus name comes from the Greek kolla ("glue"),[4] a reference to the seeds, which become gelatinous in texture when wet.[3]
