Proboscidea parviflora, also known as doubleclaw or red devil's-claw, is a flowering plant found in the desert southwest of the United States and northern Mexico. It grows in sandy, dry, and disturbed habitats and blooms during the hot summer months. This annual herb has sprawling stems and leaves with rounded or triangular blades. Its inflorescence consists of several bell-shaped flowers with white to pink or purple coloring and a yellow nectar guide. The fruit is a large seed pod with a long, thin, curving tail that splits into two claw-like halves as it dries. This plant has been used for food and basketry by Native American communities.
