Ipomopsis multiflora, known as manyflowered gilia or manyflowered ipomopsis, is a short-lived perennial flowering plant. Among the Zuni people, the powdered whole plant is applied to face to cure headache, and it is also applied to wounds. The crushed blossoms are smoked in corn husks to "relieve strangulation".[1]
Ipomopsis multiflora grows 15 to 50 cm (6 to 20 in) tall with short and long, glandular and unglandular hairs on its stems.[2]
