Parryella filifolia, the common dunebroom,[1] is a species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is the only member of the genus Parryella.[2][3][4] Its ashes were sometimes used by members of the Hopi tribe in the maize nixtamalization process and helped to retain the blue color of cornmeal used to make piki bread. The beans were also used as a remedy for toothaches.[5]
