I recently aquired a package of seeds from our county extension office. The seeds are idenified as Devil's Claw or Unicorn Plant. I have looked in books for this plant or seed and cannot find it. If you have heard of it please let me know. |
| To be honest, I had never heard of either one. After some research, I did find a few things. Unicorn Plant is known botanically as Proboscidea. Strangely, "Proboscidea" is also the name of the order of mammals that includes Asian and African elephants....go figure! I learned this plant is semi-carnivorous - what an interesting little seed you have there: Here are some websites with info you might find interesting: http://www.seedpods.com/ http://www.flytrap.demon.co.uk/images/probl_01.jpg (this is a picture) |
