Not the drink of the same name, but the plant. Lots of varieties. Tiny
seeds.
The seeds of the plant known as pussy-paws
(Spraguea umbellata) seem, wherever obtainable, to be especially sought
after by chipmunks. These seeds are very small (0.7 to 1.2 mm. in diameter),
flattish, smooth, and glistening black; and they prove exceedingly elusive to
human handling. The fact that the mass of seeds in a chipmunk's cheek pouches is
invariably free of chaff or any other useless material bespeaks a marvelous
degree of dexterity on the part of the harvester. When we note that one load
contained practically 5000 seeds, and recall the complicated nature and rapidity
of the movements of the forefeet, lips, and tongue which must be involved in the
act of gathering seeds, our wonder at the effectiveness of the chipmunk's
nervous and muscular organization is beyond expression.
I left the lower plant in the crop because it?s another that I just
learned. Now that I know what it is, I see it everywhere. Coville?s Lip
Fern.
