Physocarpus monogynus
Physocarpus monogynus, the mountain ninebark or low ninebark, is a flowering shrub of western North America.
Physocarpus monogynus occurs from northern Mexico and west Texas north to Montana and South Dakota and west to Nevada (Elmore 1976, USDA 2008). It grows on slopes, shaded by being in canyons or facing north, at altitudes of 1,700 to 3,000 meters (5,600 to 9,800 ft). The typical habitat, at least in the southern part of its range, is dominated by ponderosa pine and scrub oak (Elmore 1976).
Indians made a pain-relieving poultice by boiling the roots and placing them on the site while still warm.
