It is coated in rough hairs and short, woolly fibers. Leaves and stemThe leaves are oblong or oval, smooth along the edges, and alternately arranged on the branches. They are one or two centimeters long, the larger leaves located lower on the plant. Flowers and fruitThe inflorescence is a loose cluster of yellow flowers at the tip of a stem branch. The flower corolla has 4 to 6 lobes with the stamens and stigma protruding from the short throat. The fruit is a capsule.[8][9][10] Ethnobotanical usesNative American Navajo people developed cold infusion of this plant to treat heartburn and facilitate labor for childbirth. A root decoction was used to treat spinal pain.[11] References1. ^E. Knoblauch: Oleaceae, Salvadoraceae. In Engler, Prantl (eds.): Die natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien [...] IV. Teil. 2.
