Description
CORN LILY
This common corn lily found in high mountain riparian areas has many other names, false hellebore, skunk cabbage, tickleweed, itchweed, devil's bite, indian poke plant, duck retten, bear corn, earth gall and my favorite, poor Annie.
While beautifully featured, it's extremely poisonous to humans, wild animals and livestock.
Traditionally, fibers from the stems were used to make fabric. Ground and dried root has pesticide properties and First Nations people used to grind the root to use as laundry soap.
