Description: English: A wild stand of 'double claw' Proboscidea parviflora (on the right side) growing with Proboscidea louisianica (on the left). This photo shows that the two varieties of plants are very difficult to tell apart without seeing the flowers. Very important traditional indigenous edible and useful plants of the southwest United States. Proboscidea parviflora is one of several very similar varieties, distinguished by its purple/pink flowers with a yellow nectar guide stripe. The variety Proboscidea louisianica is distinguished by a paler whiter flower with distinct red speckling inside. Date: 2 September 2017. Source: Own work. Author: T.K. Naliaka.

Description: English: Proboscidea parviflora - Here shown a dried, opened double claw seed pod showing how the first layers of black seeds fit together. Behind them on each side, tough ovary walls protect a second layer of seeds. The seed pod form allows it to slowly split symmetrically to open to drop only a couple of seeds at a time, reducing chances for overcrowding of sprouts in any one spot. The ovary walls hold the remaining seeds much longer before they degrade enough to release the seeds inside them. A very important traditional indigenous edible and useful plant of the southwest United States. When green the distinctive curve of this fruit earned the name 'unicorn' plant, but when dry the fruits split along the spine to form a double hook, known as the 'double claw'. The dried seeds are edible and highly nutritious, and can be eaten dry, crushed for oil or ground into flour. The splints from the longest, dried curved 'hooks' are collected for south-western U.S. traditional Native basket-making. Roughly 25 - 30 seeds in an average seed pod. Grid size - centimeter with millimeter. Seeds shown are 1 centimeter in length. Date: 12 October 2017. Source: Own work. Author: T.K. Naliaka.

Description: English: Proboscidea parviflora - A very important traditional indigenous edible and useful plant of the southwest United States. When green the distinctive curve of this fruit earned the name 'unicorn' plant, but when dry the fruits split along the spine to form two large hooks, known as the 'double claw' or 'devil's claws', 'ram's horns' that easily catch on anything brushing past to disperse the seeds. (Not to be confused with the African 'devil's claw' of a completely different species and different use.) Proboscidea parviflora, 'double claw' fruits when picked young and tender green can be cooked like okra or pickled. Older, larger fruits are allowed to dry. The dried seeds are edible and highly nutritious, and can be eaten dry, crushed for oil or ground into flour. The long, dried curved seed pods are collected for basket-making. These pods are made of an unusually tough fiber and are split along the longest lengths to form dark, rugged cords that are highly valued for traditional Native culture basketry. Proboscidea parviflora is one of several very similar varieties, distinguished by its purple/pink flowers with a yellow nectar guide stripe. The plant's leaves and fruits are hairy and sticky, but easily washed. Date: 2 September 2017. Source: Own work. Author: T.K. Naliaka.

Here the tough, dark-colored inner pod is revealed when the outer skin dries, releases and falls away. Seed pods contain approximately 20-30 seeds. Date: 14 September 2017. Source: Own work.

Proboscidea parviflora is one of several very similar varieties, distinguished by its purple/pink flowers with a yellow nectar guide stripe. The plant's leaves and fruits are hairy and sticky, but this stickiness easily washes off. The plant is distinguished by a strong upright stalk that then forms a Y, as clearly shown in this photo. When heavy with fruit and foliage, this stalk may bend over to rest on the ground, and with the plant's leaf shape, it can be mistaken at a quick glance for a pumpkin vine, but a closer look reveals the Y stalk structure. Each pod contains about 30 seeds. Date: 2 September 2017. Source: Own work. Author: T.K. Naliaka.

Description: English: Proboscidea parviflora -a very important traditional edible and useful indigenous plant of the southwest United States, once widely cultivated. Here, two seed pods compared, one freshly picked green and one dried. These are the fruits from the same plant. When green and tender, they can be cooked as vegetables in various recipes in traditional indigenous cuisine and modern cuisine. Green, their distinctive shape earned them the name 'unicorn plant.' When drying, the green outer pod sheds and the drying fibers inside split apart symmetrically along the spine and form the dramatic hooked shape that earned them the names, 'double claw,' 'devil's claws' and 'ram's horns.' This shape allows the dry seed pods to hook on anything passing by to distribute seeds. The seeds are edible and nutritious, in traditional cuisine, can be ground into flour or crushed to extract a nutritious edible oil. The long horns or hooks can be soaked and split again lengthwise to make very strong cords that were and remain highly prized by Native basket weavers in the southwest. These cords provide strength and a contrasting dark color for making designs in the baskets. Date: 10 September 2017. Source: Own work. Author: T.K. Naliaka.

Description: English: Pima Indian woman, Etta Morgan, making a basket, Arizona, ca.1900 Photograph of a Pima Indian woman, Etta Morgan, making a basket, Arizona, ca.1900. She is sitting on the ground outside with her back leaning against a blanket in front of a small pile of adobe bricks holding a small partially completed basket on her lap. Another shallow basket in front of her holds some of her basket-making material. The bundle of dried dark fibers in the lower right basket are from the plant Proboscidea (Martyniaceae) parviflora or parviflora/hohokamiana, called 'double claw' or 'devil's claw,' indigenous to Arizona. Very strong, they provide the dark fibers for the design in the basket. She wears a long print dress. A hewn timber lays beside the pile of bricks. Call number: CHS-3648 Photographer: Pierce, C.C.
