Collinsia is a genus of about 20 species of annual flowering plants, consisting of the Blue-eyed Marys and the Chinese Houses. It was traditionally placed in the snapdragon family Scrophulariaceae, but following recent research in molecular genetics, it has now been placed in a much enlarged family Plantaginaceae.

Of the 20 species, many of them found in California. Two species, Collinsia parviflora and Collinsia violacea, the Smallflower Blue-eyed Mary and the Violet Blue-eyed Mary, had medicinal uses among American Indian peoples. Species include:Collinsia antoninaCollinsia bartsiifoliaCollinsia callosaCollinsia childiiCollinsia concolorCollinsia corymbosaCollinsia grandifloraCollinsia...
