Description

Annual, erect herb with small axillary blue to pinkish flowers, up to 40 cm tall.[2] Stem simple to branched, sparsely pubescent.[2] Leaves opposite; lower leaves long-petiolate, orbicular to rotund; upper leaves oblong to linear-lanceolate, to 4 cm long.[3] Flowers zygomorphic, pedicelate 4-7 mm long;[2] calyx 5-lobed, subequal; corolla bilabiate, tube not bent at right angle to calyx, 2 upper lobes, 3 lower lobes; stamens 4, didynamous; stigma capitate,[4] ovary 2-carpellate, superior,[5] becoming an elliptical capsule.[2]

Bloom Period

March - July[2]

Distribution

Occurs in BC extending south to California and east to Manitoba, Michigan, Colorado and Arizona (Pojar and MacKinnon, 1994; Ganders and Krause, 1986; Elle, 2002).

Habitat

Rocky outcrops in coastal Douglas-fir zone. Areas that dry out rapidly in summer. Low to middle elevations but occasionally higher. Absent from the wet outer coast.[2]

Uses

Ute use as an external treatment for soreness.[6]

Propagation

Native Plant Network Propagation Protocol

Seed

Abbreviation: COPA

Seed sample from: 2011

Average measurement: 0.7 x 1.5 x 1

Measurement range: L: 0.5 - 0.9, W: 1.3 x 1.7, D: 0.9 x 1.3

Features

Color Seeds bright red with elliptical, white, large depression that is the hilium on a longer seed side.

Surface Seeds red, matte, and very slightly bumpy. Possibly smoother than COGR. Some seeds have seed coat ridges at the edge of the seed, giving it a somewhat winged look.

Seed slightly larger than Collinsia grandiflora.

Could be confused with: Collinsia grandiflora.

Latitudinal cross section: elliptical COPA.png

Longitudinal cross section: irregular

Basic Explanations and Assumptions:

The dimensions for the seeds are length x width x depth. The location of the hilum is used as the base of the seed, and the length is measured from hilum to the opposite apex. Where a style is present, the length is measured from the hilum to the bottom of the style. Width is measured at a right angle to the length at the widest part. Depth is measured at a right angle to the intersection of height and width lines.

Measurements included are the mean average for each measurement of ten separate seeds.

All measurements in millimeters unless otherwise noted.
