|}}}}{{Wikispecies}}{{Commons category}}Grindelia squarrosa, also known as a curly-top gumweed or curlycup gumweed, is a small North American biennial or short-lived perennial plant.[2]

It is native to western and central North America, from British Columbia east to Québec and New England, and south as far as California, Arizona, Chihuahua, and Texas. The species may possibly be naturalized in much of the eastern part of that distribution.[3][4][5][6]

Description

Grindelia squarrosa is often found in disturbed roadsides, streamsides; {{convert|700|-|2300|m|ft}} in elevation. It is a decumbent to erect, much-branched perennial herb of subshrub up to 100 cm (40 inches) tall. The 1.5–7 cm leaves are gray-green, crenate with each tooth having a yellow bump near its tip, and resinous.[5][8]Grindelia squarrosa produces numerous flower heads in open, branching arrays. Each head usually contains 12-40 yellow ray flowers, though sometimes the rays are absent. These surround many small disc flowers. The plant blooms from July through late September.[5][7][8]

Varieties

  • Grindelia squarrosa var. quasiperennis [9]
  • Grindelia squarrosa var. serrulata [10]
  • Grindelia squarrosa var. squarrosa [11]

Uses

Grindelia squarrosa is listed by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Native Plant Information Network (NPIN) as of "Special Value to Native Bees."[6]

The plant concentrates selenium, and can be toxic when ingested by cattle, humans, and other mammals.[5]

The plant is being explored as a potential source of biofuel due to its high content of mono- and di-terpenes which can be converted to a fuel analogous to kerosene or jet fuel.[12] The plant's adaptation to arid climates makes it an attractive option as its cultivation in desert areas would not compete with traditional food crops.

Native American medicinal plant

Grindelia squarrosa is used by Great Plains Tribes as a medicinal herb to treat illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis or skin rashes.[6][13][14]

It is used as a traditional medicinal plant by Shoshone peoples in various regions.[13] The Gosiute band dialect's Shoshone language name for the plant is mu’-ha-kûm.[15] The Lakota language name for the plant is pteíčhiyuȟa.
