Nolina, bear grass
I'm having trouble understanding what MM said about the plant this one is similar to.... then he started talking about fish poisoning and elderberries... so the thread was lost. I pulled some info from a website... going to have to research this one more.
Medicinal Uses
The roots have agents that check bleeding by contracting blood vessels, and were used for this purpose by the Blackfoot and Kashaya Pomo Indians. A poultice of the chewed root was applied to wounds. A decoction of the grated root was used as a wash on bleeding wounds, sprains and broken limbs. The washed roots have been rubbed to make a lather and then used to wash sore eyes.
