A flowering plant that produces gummy or resinous sap, or a flower that exudes a sticky substance.
Compound from 'gum' plus 'flower'; describes plants with naturally gummy or viscous secretions in their flowers or stems.
Some gumflowers like desert wildflowers produce sticky nectar that prevents ants from stealing it while still feeding the pollinators they prefer—nature's security system.
