OTHER: Greenthread ( Thelesperma spp.) is an herb used to make a beverage tea-sometimes used medicinally-by several Native American tribes, particularly those in the southwest. The tea has been called Navajo Tea, Hopi Tea, or Indian tea, to reflect its use by these populations. The designation greenthread is most appropriate, as the herb has thin leaves that are thread-like. The herb grows over much of the plains and mountain states, reaching up to Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Still, its main use is in the Southwest, and the plant grows abundantly on the Navajo, Hopi, and Pueblo lands, as well as throughout much of New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. The extended range of habitat is made possible by the fact that several species exist ( see table) , some only at high altitude, others growing in the plains, and virtually all of them can be used to make greenthread tea. The herb known as Navajo tea is derived mainly from T. megapotamicum, T. simplicifolium, T. filifolium, and T. subnudum. The genus Thelesperma is distinctive to North America.
