East Oregonian
Annual collomia a tidy beauty
BRUCE
BARNES
BLOOMIN’ BLUES
cientific name: Collomia
linearis
Common name:
Narrow-leaf collomia
This plant in the phlox family
is widespread, from Alaska to
California, and east to south-
eastern Canada, Nebraska and
New Mexico. It likes open to
slightly shaded sites, lowlands to
middle elevations in mountains,
and dry to moist soil. I have seen
this plant in several places in
S
the Blues, and in open semi-arid
places well to the west of the
Blues in Eastern Oregon.
Collomia linearis is a
taprooted annual, sometimes
branching, up to 1 foot high,
with the branches topped with a
rounded, dense cluster of small
blue, pink or white flowers borne
by leaflike bracts. The leaves are
linear or narrowly lance-shaped,
alternately and directly attached
to the stems, and have smooth
edges.
One Indian tribe used this
plant to make a poultice to treat
wounds and bruises.
