See text Proboscidea is a genus of flowering plant in the family Martyniaceae, some of whose species are known as devil's claw, devil's horn, ram's horn, or unicorn plant.

The plants produce long, hooked seed pods.

The name devil's claw is shared with the South African plant Harpagophytum procumbens.

Some species (particularly Proboscidea parviflora) are used in basket weaving by the Tohono O'odham who have selected for varieties with longer "claws.

[2] The Hia C-eḍ Oʼodham and the Tohono O'odham eat the seeds, which provided an important source of dietary oils.
