Quamoclidion multijlorum. Four-o'clock. (See pi. 5, a.) 

 An infusion of the ground roots in water is drunk for cases of 

 swelling, probably those of dropsical origin. The roots after being 

 ground are mixed with corn flour to improve the taste.

 The j)lant is used to make black paint for decorating pottery.^ 

 Bundles of the plant, moistened, are steamed in a can in a pit oven; 

 "some people boil it, but steaming thus is the best way, so that it will 

 ?»(?/^' smooth." A quantity of liquid is then squeezed out, and the mass 

 which remains is molded into a cake and, wrapped in corn husk, is 

 stored for winter use. It is an article of trade between women. For 

 use, a small piece is broken ofl', dipped in water, and rubbed down on 

 a stone pallette with a hard mineral paint called Ici/j/ejj {Jca, stone; 

 pV??, blackness). 



Awse is cooked and eaten in spring. 



The Hano people translate the name of the Asa clan of Sichomovi

= The method of preparation seems doubtful or variable. Hough says that the seeds are ground 

 in a mortar, forming an oily liquid which serves as a medium for the iron paint. Fewkes says that 

 an infusion of the flowers is mixed with iron pigment, the juice of tlie asa being presumed to cause 

 the pigment to adhere. Tlie Tewa of New Mexico (see above) and the Zuni (Stevenson, The Zufii 

 Indians, p. 375) use the liquid obtained by boiling Penloma serrulatum. The Hano method is given 

 here.
