Allophyllum is a small genus of flowering plants in the phlox family known as false gilyflowers. These are hairy, glandular annuals with tall, thin, branching stems topped with clusters of small tubular flowers in varying shades of purple. Some of the plants are sticky, and all have seeds which become gluey when wet. False gilyflowers are native to western North America.

Species:

  • Allophyllum divaricatum - purple false gilyflower
  • Allophyllum gilioides - dense false gilyflower
  • Allophyllum glutinosum - sticky false gilyflower
  • Allophyllum integrifolium - white false gilyflower
