Kelloggia galioides is a species of flowering plant in the coffee family known by the common name milk kelloggia. It is a perennial herb that is native to the Western United States.
Kelloggia galioides is a rhizomatous perennial herb growing a very slender, erect stem to a maximum height near 40 centimeters. Lance-shaped green leaves are arranged oppositely on the stem, especially at axils where it branches. Each is 2 to 4 centimeters long. [1]
A thin-branched open inflorescence produces a few small bright pink or white flowers. The flower is funnel-shaped with the rounded, hairy green fruit developing at its base. The flower has narrow, pointed lobes on its open face. Its bloom period is from May to August. [1]
The plant is native to the Western United States from Washington to California, and New Mexico to Montana. [1] [2] It is grows in Yellow pine, Red fir, and Lodgepole pine coniferous forests, at 700–3,110 metres (2,300–10,200 ft) in elevation.
