Tetraneuris scaposa


Tetraneuris scaposa is a North American species of flowering plant in the sunflower family. It is native to the southwestern and south-central United States and northern Mexico.
Tetraneuris scaposa is a perennial herb up to 40 cm tall. It forms a branching underground caudex sometimes producing as many as 100 above-ground stems. Leaves are concentrated low on the stem, close to the ground. Flower heads can either be present individually one per stem, or multiply in tight clumps. Each head has 12–26 ray flowers surrounding 25–180 disc flowers.

Uses

The Zuni people use an infusion of it as an eyewash. The Zuni believe that this eyewash is not for people with a "bad heart".
