The name of the plant derives from its use with acorns to
cure "stitch" of the side, Another common name
is "thunder flower" as it was believed if the
flower was picked it would summon thunder storms. The plant
was considered to be a remedy for broken bones since its
stems are so fragile then this must be a sign that they
were to have that medicinal use.
