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.[4]
