	Quamash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quamash, also known as Small Camas, is a perennial herb in the family Agavaceae.
		The name Quamash is a Native American term for the plant's bulb, which was gathered and used as a food source by tribes in the Pacific Northwest.
		While quamash is edible and nutritious, it often grows with Zygadenus species which are extremely poisonous and which have very similar bulbs, so it is very important to be sure of your identification.

	Camassia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historically, the genus was thought to belong to the lily family (Liliaceae), the Scilloideae family, or the Hyacinthinaceae family, but from DNA and biochemical studies, the APG II-group has reassigned Camassia to the family Agavaceae.
		The Quamash was a food source for several native peoples in the western United States.
		The bulbs were harvested and pit-roasted or boiled by women of the Nez Perce, Cree, Coast Salish, and Blackfoot tribes.

	Camassia quamash - Plants For A Future database report
		Quamash bulbs were a staple food of the N. American Indians[42, 92].
		The tribes would move to the Quamash fields in the early autumn and, whilst some people harvested the bulbs, others would dig a pit, line it with boulders then fill it with wood and set fire to it.
		Quamash is a very pretty flowering bulb that has quite a large potential as an edible ornamental plant[K].
