''Ipomopsis aggregata'' is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family (Polemoniaceae), commonly known as scarlet trumpet, scarlet gilia, or skyrocket because of its scarlet red flowers with lobes curving back as if blown back by rocketing through the air.〔Sierra Nevada Wildflowers, Karen Wiese, 2nd ed., 2013, p. 107〕 == Name == Since its discovery in 1814 by Frederick Pursch, the plant has undergone many name modifications. The current scientific name of "''Ipomopsis''," Latin for "similar to ''Ipomoea''" or morning glories, refers to its similarities between the morning glories’ similar red tubular flowers. "Aggregata," "brought together" in Latin refers to its petal growing pattern. , and skyrocket. The potent smell from glands within its basal leave formations grant it the name skunk flower. In some areas it is also called honeysuckle, owing to the shape of the flower and the droplet of nectar that can be enjoyed by picking off the flower and sucking it out of the basal end. The common name of Gilia (once a component of its scientific name) is pronounced “Gee-lee-uh,” an Italian pronunciation, after its original namesake, Italian scientist and clergyman Filippo Luigi Gilii.
