Collomia rawsoniana
Collomia rawsoniana is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family known by the common name flaming trumpet. This perennial wildflower is endemic to California, where it is known from only two counties: Mariposa and Madera. It grows in the woodland understory in the Sierra Nevada foothills. This plant produces a thin, erect stem to about half a meter in height with widely spaced, deeply toothed hairy leaves each several centimeters long. Atop the stem is an inflorescence of three to seven showy red-orange flowers. Each flower is up to 4 centimeters long and trumpet-shaped, with a protruding pistil and stamens tipped with anthers covered in blue pollen.
