Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Proboscidea louisianica is a flowering plant in the Martyniaceae family with a wide distribution across North America, Europe, Australia, and South Africa. It is commonly known as devil's claw or unicorn-plant and has various other names specific to the species. The plant has large, oily leaves and produces fragrant essential oils. Its lavender or purple flowers have a unique shape and can produce up to 80 fruits, which split into two long horns as they dry. The plant is pollinated by bees and its young green fruits are edible, while the dry fruits were used by Native Americans for food and basketry. It is also grown as an ornamental plant and can be weedy, causing issues in cotton crops.
