Palmate Coltsfoot

Edible - natives in the Quinault region used this as a food and medicine. The flowers and stalks can be eaten as a vegetable and the plant can also be steeped as a tea. The leaves can even be dried and burned to produce a salt substitute. It appears to be quite versatile.

    hehe of course I do, I just want to be careful with country linking. I cannot base it on assumptions, even when it is extremely likely that you took it in your home country. Posted 10 years ago

    Also, I'm going to be super annoying in asking when it is not set, just like with species identification :)
    
    Seriously, I know you're aware of why it's needed, it's for a greater good. I'm making good progress on countries species, so soon it will be very visible why both the species and country are important. Posted 10 years ago

      Does the geotag not set the country automatically? I am trying to be careful not to miss any geotags. The new button makes that easier. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

        Yes it does. You can go for either precise location setting (geotagging, which automatically detects the country) or for only setting the location at the country, without geotags. It's your choice, but we prefer either one of those two to be set. Posted 10 years ago
