Pima name 'shooshk vakch' meaning 'wet shoes'. Mexicans use the plant for toothache (Mr. Flemming, Desert Bot. Garden) Brooms for sweeping the yard. Anytime of year the stalks are cut about 4 ft. long and tied together with a string. The broom is used green, as when dry it becomes too brittle and has to be discarded (Mrs. Fulwiler)
