IMG_0575 Psacalium decompositum or Indian Plantain is common in the shady mountain forests of southeastern Arizona.  You can impress your friends while on a hike by knowing what it is, but I don’t recommend gathering seed and growing it. Leave that to crazy native plant geeks who think it will make them rich.
