👉 Colobothea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, native to South America and parts of Asia. They are commonly known as "red-flowered" or "fire-bright." Each species has its unique coloration, ranging from reds and yellows to purples, oranges, and greens. Colobothea flowers produce small, white, pink, or purple flowers in clusters, often with a slightly stinging effect when touched.
