Description
Indian paintbrush is a flower found primarily in the western parts of North and South America. It is a genus that includes over 200 species, some of which are annuals and others of which are perennial. They are eaten by some species of moth, and are themselves semi-parasitic on roots of certain grasses.
The flowers are edible and have a sweet taste, but if they are eaten in too large quantities, they can cause selenium toxicity. They were used by Native Americans as a condiment, a hair treatment, and a treatment for rheumatism.
