Colpias is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the family Scrophulariaceae.

[3] It secretes oils to attract specialised oil-collecting bees from the genus Rediviva.

[5] Colpias mollis is a many-branched shrublet, with brittle branches, growing up to 200 mm high.

The leaves and branches of Colpias mollis are covered with soft hairs.

During spring the small plants produce showy clusters of white or yellow flowers with a sweet or clove-like scent.
