Description: English: Proboscidea louisianica - 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' 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.) Like the similar 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 louisianica is one of several very similar varieties, distinguished by its paler pink flowers with a yellow nectar guide stripe and distinctive red speckling inside. The plant's leaves and fruits are hairy and sticky, but easily washed. 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 the tough ovary walls that protect a second layer of seeds on each side of the split pod. 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. Average seed size - 1 cm in length. Date: 12 October 2017. Source: Own work. Author: T.K. Naliaka.
