Ipomopsis multiflora
Ipomopsis multiflora, common name manyflowered gilia or manyflowered ipomopsis, is a plant. Among the Zuni people, the powdered whole plant is applied to face for headache, and it is also applied to wounds. The crushed blossoms are smoked in corn husks to "relieve strangulation".[1]
