Xanthium orientale ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

Xanthium orientale is a species of annual plant of the daisy family Asteraceae.[1]

Use by Native Americans

The Zuni people use the plant for multiple purposes. The chewed seeds are rubbed onto the body before the cactus ceremony to protect it from spines. A compound poultice of seeds is applied to wounds or used to remove splinters.[2] The seeds are also ground, mixed with cornmeal, made into cakes, and steamed for food.[3][4]
